NOW that the Vacuum Oil Company of Australia is marketing its own brand of petrol, kerosene and oil again, their advertising department is issuing three useful booklets, each of which is obtainable free of charge from the Vacuum Oil Co. offices in any Australian capital city.
The booklets are “Laurel Recipe Book and Household Guide”; “Modern Diesel and Oil Engines”; and “Vacuum Motor Boat Guide.”
The cook-book contains over 170 recipes and innumerable household hints. There are special sections dealing with American and Chinese cookery. All dishes have been kitchen-tested and are made from ingredients readily obtainable to-day.
The 96-page booklet on diesel engineer ing is one of the most complete manuals of its size that has been issued. It is written in simple language so that the layman can understand it; it describes the essential principles of diesel operation, and is a guide to efficient maintenance.
Illustrations and diagrams simplify the subject matter.
The motor-boat guide, as well as giving detailed fuel and oil recommendations for every make and type of boat, contains a wealth of sea lore of interest to all sea men, amateur and otherwise. There are sections dealing with rules of the road at sea, weather, morse and semaphore codes, knots, splicing, signals, etc. This booklet, too, is well illustrated.
