For the Racing Fan • Diesel Race Car, a 45-minute film in color sponsored by Cummins Engine Company, could be called the story of a great failure. It is an honest record of a good try, and an exciting picture. Car No. 28, in last year's "500" at Indianajjolis, never finished the race, but ii cpialilied lor the poll position with the record time of 138.01 miles per hour. The car. made by this film sponsor, a diesel engine manufacturer, was tops in areodynamic styling, speed and stabil- itv. Being pulled out of the race because of breathing difluulties did not make it a failure in a broad sense, because every fact discovered during the building ot the great diesel will be used in (himmins future engines.
