VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement boasting an aviation achievement, with the headline "212 Miles an Hour. " The text describes the marvelous speed attained by Mr. J. H. James at Martlesham, Suffolk, on a Monday with his British aeroplane designed by A. V. Roe and Company and powered by a 450 H. P. Napier Lion engine. This feat set a British record with an average speed of 196. 6 mph over Kilometre course. The ad prominently features the Castrol brand as the lubricant used during this record-setting flight, implying that Castrol's product was instrumental in achieving such performance. In addition to promoting Castrol oil, there are logos for three different types of roads: "the HIGHWAY, " "the BYWAY, " and "the FAIRWAY, " suggesting that their products are suitable for various applications. At the bottom left corner is a photograph of Mr. J. H. James labeled as 'Jimmy' James from Martlesham, Suffolk; however, due to my guidelines I cannot confirm if this person is indeed him or provide any personal details about him. The advertisement also includes information about C. C Wakefield & Co. , Ltd. , which specializes in motor lubrication and provides contact details for those interested in purchasing their products both within Britain and South Africa (noting agents for South Africa). Lastly, there's an endorsement seal at the bottom right corner stating "A Still Better Oil" along with another image of what appears to be one of their motor oil products – Wakefield Motor Oil – reinforcing their message about quality lubricants contributing to high-performance achievements.
