AERO ENGINES AT OLYMPIA SHOW. WITHOUT question, the engines at Olympia will hold the attention of those seriously interested in the movement as much, if not more than the aeroplanes themselves. We have said elsewhere, and it is a point to be borne very much in mind, that the real need of the country is a thoroughly satisfactory British-built aero engine. In this respect we trust that the present exhibit may be truly notable, and that it may be the beginning of an era of great prosperity for the British aero engine constructor. The fact remains that he has not hitherto held the market, but we believe that the market is tending in a direction that will make the qualities in which the British engine builder is most likely to excel more acceptable to the prospective purchaser in the form in which they are likely to be provided. Be that as it may, it is beyond all question that British engines must be available for British machines, and it is equally apparent uFiaaThe 120-h.p. Wolseley light aero motor. The 60*h.p. Wolseley aero motor. NEW WOLSELEY AERO ENGINE.—For some time it has been well known that the Wols'ley Co. has been developing a new aeroplane engine, and we are now able to give photographs showing its general appearance. It is rated at 60-80-b.p. and is, as will be seen, of the V type of construction. There is, at the present time, no more important matter in aviation than that an adequate supply of good British-built engines should be available. The Wolseley Co. have already had experience in the building of aero motors, and some of the earlijst successful flying in the Voisin schoal in France was accomplished with a Wolseley motor. We hope that in this latest attempt they may have succeeded in producing a machine capable of satisfying the somewhat severe requirements of flying, for it will mean much to have the Wolseley Co. thus permanently established in the industry devoted to aeroplane engine construction. 190
