The whole of the body is covered with fabric, except for the front portion forward of the cockpit, which is covered with sheet aluminium. The engine, an 80 h.p. 7-cyl. Gyro, is supported by front and rear mountings in the nose of the body, large openings being cut in the front of the aluminium cowl for cooling purposes. Behind the engine is the pilot's seat, immediately behind which 9 ® JULY 23, 1915. is that for the passenger, who sits close up as in the Morane Saulnier. The control is of the usual wheel and rocking column, and rudder-bar type. The under carriage is a modified Nieuport type consisting of a central tubular steel skid attached to the body by three pairs of V streamlined section steel struts, and a pair of wheels attached to a laminated steel spring mounted in the centre of the central skid. Two auxiliary spiral springs mounted within telescopic tubes, extending from the body to the stud axles, add greatly to the steadiness of the machine when taxying on the ground. The weight of the machine empty is 925 lbs. „.j . ,-I.J ® ® 77v.e Roved fffero Clu of the United Ktr&dca 12m OFFICIAL NOTICES TO MEMBERS Bf=I SPECIAL COMMITTEE MEETING.
