Another Castrol service to motoring sport

Organisers of rallies, driving tests, and other forms of motoring sport requiring course markers may now obtain white plastic inflatable marker bollards from Castrol Limited. The bollards, which are 3 ft. high, are issued on a free loan basis and the maximum number which can be loaned to any one club is twenty. The base of the bollard is first partly filled with sand. The top section is then inflated to form a cone. The bollard cannot damage paintwork and it is easy to send by post. Applications for the loan of Castrol marker bollards should be sent to: Castrol Limited, Group Publicity Department, Castrol House, Marylebone Road, London, N.W.1.
