I/HU Handley-Page (82). MONOPLANE of 30 ft. span, the wings having a cord of 6 ft. It is controlled by a rudder at the rear, actmted by a lever at the side of the pilot. Total lifting surface of the machine 150 sq. ft., and weight without the pilot 300 lbs. It is fitted with a 20-25-h.p. air-cooled 4-cyl. engine, directly coupled to a 6 ft. 6 diam. special H.P. propeller. Humber (53). Two British-built monoplanes of the Bleriot type are on view on Messrs. Humber's stand, as well as a monoplane and a biplane designed by Capt. Lovelace. The main planes of the last-mentioned are of 41 '6 span, and the total lifting surface is 526 sq. ft. The Lovelace type monoplane is of 29 ft. span with a total lifting surface of 232 sq. ft. In each the engine fitted is a 50-h.p. 4-cyl. water-cooled Humber. Lane (78). Two monoplanes, one of 30-ft. spread, and the other of 36-ft. span, the former fitted with a 30-h.p. engine, and the latter a 60-h.p. engine, both of the N.E.C. type. Mann and Overtons (70). A MONOPLANE, very much on the lines of Santos Dumont's " Demoiselle," fitted with a twin-cylinder V-type air-cooled Anzani engine of 20-h. p. Mulliner (69). NEW British monoplane, built by the well-known coachbuilders of Long Acre and Northampton. The main planes have a span of 33 ft. and a chord of 6 ft. 6 ins., while the overall length of the machine, which has a total lifting surface of 220 sq. ft., is 27 ft. It "/•^^^""^^^WHil One of the main planes of the Mulliner monoplane in skeleton form. is fitted with a 35-40-h.p. 8-cyl. J.A.P. engine, which drives a 6 ft. 3 ins. tractor screw of 4 ft. 6 ins. pitch. Stability and directional control are effected by a system of warping the trailing edge of the main planes, combined with the action of the elevator and rudder at the rear. Nicholson (58). MONOPLANE built by Holland and Holland and exhibited on the stand of the Royal Aero Club. Ornis (71). A MONOPLANE of 25 ft. span and 28 ft. overall length, with a surface of 170 sq. ft., the weight complete being 450 lbs. It is fitted with a four-cylinder air-cooled Lascelles engine, driving a Weiss propeller. ENGINES. Aeroplane Engine Co. (33). EIGHT-CYLINDER V-type engine for dirigible, the bore and stroke being 4 ins. by 4f ins., and the weight of the engine com plete 498 lbs. Also a four-cylinder engine, with cylinders of similar size, and of the same general design. Both engines have auxiliary exhausts, and the carburettor is specially designed to work at any angle. Albatross (48). A SIX-CYLINDER " V "-type engine, of which the bore and stroke are nox no. The engine weighs only 230 lbs. complete, and is rated at 35-45-h.p. MARCH 12, 1910. Petre (68). MONOPLANE exhibited by Messrs. Leo Ripault and Co., and fitted with an N.E.C. engine. Roe (66). BKITISH-BUILT triplane, having a span of 20 ft. ; the height of the machine is 9 ft. and the overall length 23 ft. The total sup porting surface, including that of the triplane tail, is 320 sq. ft. The machine is driven by a two-bladed tractor screw of adjustable pitch, and the steering is effected by a vertical rudder at the rear operated by the feet. The main planes are operated by hand to serve as elevators. Santos-Dumont (72). REPLICAS of the little " Demoiselle " monoplane built in France by Mons. A. Clement. A fully-illustrated description, with scale drawings, appeared in our issues of October 2nd and 9th last. It is fitted with a two-cylinder water-cooled motor, and the weight com plete is about no kilogs. The overall measurements are 6-2 metres long and 5 '5 metres wide. Short (59, 67). A BRITJSH-BUILT biplane of special light design, and fitted with a 30-35-h.p. 4-cyl. Green engine. A feature of the design is the patent front elevating rudder, while another special detail is the arrangement of spring tension balancing planes. The lifting sui face of the machine is 270 sq. ft., while the weight complete is 700 lbs. A similar machine is also exhibited by Mr. J. T. C. Moore-Brabazon on the Royal Aero Club's stand. Short-Wright Machine (58, 59). BRITISH-BUILT biplanes, after the design which has been evolved by the Wright Brothers. The machine on view is that with which the Hon. C. S. Rolls has been flying at Eastchurch. Sommer (58). BIPLANE, designed and built by M. Sommer as a result of his successful experience with a biplane of the Henry Farman type. It is exhibited by the Hon. C. S. Rolls. Spencer-Stirling (54). MONOPLANE having a span of 34 sq. ft. and a lifting surface of 200 sq. ft. It is fitted with an R.H. 4-cyl. engine. Star (80). BRITISH-BUILT monoplane of the "Antoinette" type, the span being 42 ft., while the wings have a cord bearing from 8 ft. 6 ins. at the junction with the body to 6 ft. at the tips. It is driven by a 6-ft. tractor screw connected to a40-h.p. engine. The tail is formed of 4 planes which steer and elevate in the usual way, but also can be warped for maintaining lateral stability, and the whole of these movements are carried out from the one steering-wheel. Twining (64). BIPLANE of the tail-less type, with a monoplane elevator in front. The main planes have a span of 28 ft., whilst the cord is 4 ft. 6 in. The gap at the centre is 5 ft. 6 in., diminishing to 4 ft. 6 in. at the tips, the lower plane being curved upwards at the ends. Lateral stability is maintained by means of ailerons pivoted on the end stanchions, at an angle of 450 to the horizontal. The ailerons are inter-connected, having a constant angle of 900 between them, so that the movement of one in a certain direction is followed by a corresponding movement of the other in the opposite direction. Warwick Wright (74). BRITISH-BUILT monoplane having a spread of 27 ft. and an overall length of 29 ft., the lifting surface being 160 sq. ft. It is fitted with a 40-h.p. E.N.V. engine weighing 155 lbs. The machine is mounted on runners which in turn are fitted with wheels and rubber springs. By these means the machine is able to rise from the ground without the aid of a starting apparatus, and at the same time the advantage of skids for alighting is obtained. Zodiac (56). A BIPLANE and a monoplane, exhibited by the British and Colonial Aeroplane Co., being the type which it is proposed to build at that firm's works at Bristol, of which Sir Geo. White is at the head. Avro (66). TWO-STROKE motor with two cylinders set at an angle of 1800. The charges are drawn into the crank-case Dy both pistons, at the same time through an ordinary inlet-valve of large size. On the piston's return the charge is compressed until the ends of six channels cut outside the cylinder-walls are uncovered, thus permitting the charge to pass along the piston, at the same time the exhaust is passing out through six holes in the cylinder-walls. Both cylinders are fired at the same moment, giving perfect balance. Buchet (47). Two types of these engines are shown by Messrs. Brown Bros., I90
