Ground guns, flrliig with new effectiveness, dispersed waves of planes attempting a mass raid on an east midlands town after less than two hours o!‘ incendiary bomb dropping which is nit-rely the first step in the "Coventry technique."

'I'lie bombs were extinguished and little damage was reported.
