Helpers are not permitted to build any entrants car or parts of the car. The car must be built by |the boy who will drive it in the race. Advice only may be accepted from parents, teachers or sponsors No welding, brazing or soldering of sny type is allowed on any part of the car, even if done by the boy himself, except that axel rods may be taken to a workshop and be brought to the proper length (by removing or adding stock in the middle of the rodD and rejoined in a straight line by welding, or to be threaded. but no other alterations or machine work in the approved wheel assembly will be permitted" :"
 Already Cowling said, several en- traflts who have had illegal work done on their cars have had to tske them apart, remove the parts
 n which unqualified assistance was
 ece.ved and start in again.
