A poster obviously advertising Castrol oil, used by both the Chemins de Fer de l'Etat and Malcolm Campbell. The record speed mentioned of 438 km/h or 272 mph was achieved at Daytona, Florida, on 22 February 1933 in the Campbell-Railton Blue Bird, pic below. This states that the 'Mountain' - a steam loco with a 4-8-2 wheel arrangement - of the Etat was the then world fastest steam locomotive.
