(/JJCHT NOVEMBER 9, 1912. THE N.E.C. AERO ENGINE. UNLESS we misinterpret the signs of the times, the day of the British-built aero engine is not far off. Some of the pioneers have had a hard time in all conscience, and they will be deserving of all that success may give them when it comes. Among those who should be the recipients of a full measure of good fortune, none deserve it more than the New Engine (Motor) Co., for this firm has tackled a problem of exceeding difficulty and has worked with dogged determination to overcome every obstacle from the beginning of the modern development of flight. How hard they have worked, and to what good purpose, only a few know, and it is to be hoped that their new motor, which is about to come upon the market and of which we are able to give a few preliminary photographs, will speedily bring the merits of their construction in a more practical manner before the attention of all who fly. THE 100-H.P. 6-CYL. NJE.C. TWO-STROKE AERO ENGINE.-These three views show very clearly the general appearance of this most interesting new motor, of which much is expected in view of the excellent record that has been maintained by the 50-h.p. model used by Mr. Ogilvie on his Wright biplane at Eastchurch. Nowadays, aeroplane builders are demanding engines more nearly in the order of 100-h.p. than 50-h.p., and the New Engine (Motor) Co. have thus placed their well-tried design on the market at an opportune moment. 1034
