I/UGHT] WIRE TIGHTENERS. Cochrane.—A very neat wire-tightener has been introduced by W. Cochrane and Co., having the usual eye at one end but a shackle at the other end. The shackle-pin can be removed, thus enabling the tightener to be readily attached to the lug. Handley Page. — Handley Page, Ltd., manufacture wire- tighteners or strainers having specially strong and large eyes. The above firm also supply the Portway patent wire-tightener, and wire clamps of the Bleriot type. JUNE 4, 1910. Harris and Samuels.—The above firm now supply Grace's wire-tighteners for use on aeroplanes. Also the standard types of wire-strainers and turn-buckles. Motor Accessories Co.—Quite a new type of wire-tightener is being placed on the market by the Motor Accessories Co. Briefly, the feature of this device is that the screw-thread on the end" of one wire is double and right-handed, whilst the thread on the end of the other wire is single and also right-handed. It will be seen, therefore, that on turning the tightener one wire will travel a greater distance than the other, thus drawing the wires together.

Farman Chartres to Orleans m. s. 17 o IN the accompanying table is summarised the principal flights which have so far been made across country. It will be remembered that the first recorded cross-country flight was that of Mr. Henry Farman on October 30th, 1908, which was followed by M. Bleriot's little excursion on the next day. Then nearly a year elapsed before M. L. 14 jo II o Bleriat again ventured across country, and his example was quickly followed by Paulhan and Sommer, while in 43 ° 44 ° America Orville Wright made a short trip. An extra ordinary series of flights commenced at the beginning of last April with the trip of M. Dubonnet from Juvisy to Orleans, while just as we go to press we learn that on the last day of May, Herr Euler, on a biplane of his own construction, made a circular trip from Frankfort over Griesheim, Gross-Geran, Dornburg, Wallenstedten, Dornheim, Wolfskirchen, Goddelan and Eschollbmeken. The aviatpr landed safely in front of his shed after covering 115 kiloms. in 1 hr. 19 mins. at an altitude which varied between 150 and 200 metres. 21 38 o 34 o 10 17 o 18 33 H.
