It is with regret that we learn from Paris of the death at the early age of 49 yeais of M. Lousi SEGUIN, the President of the Societe des Moteurs Gnome et Rhone. The deceased was one of the leading aircraft engine authorities in France, and his early death will be a serious loss to the movement. The will of Captain HENRY ERIC DIXON, Middlesex Regi- ment, attached R.F.C., accidentally killed while flying, has been proved at ^658. The will of Second Lieutenant DAVID DENNYS FOWLER, R.F.C., of Rottingdean, killed in March, aged 19, has been proved at £3,645. Scale Drawings of Models. AN oft-repeated query from those who wish to start building model aeroplanes is " Where can I get scale drawings and instructions for building a model ? " It is a question which can now be answered satisfactorily, for Messrs. A. E. Jones, Ltd., have got out a set of blue-prints by the aid of which and the accompanying instructions it should be possible for any one who is at all handy with tools to build a very practical and serviceable flyer. From the accompanying photograph it will be seen that the monoplane known as the A. E. Jones, drawings have been excellently drawn by Mr. C. P. Walker, and are carefully reproduced. The price of the set of drawings and instructions is 5s. •»[ Messrs. A. E. Jones propose later to prepare sets of parts for the building of the model, but these are not ready yet. In the meantime, however, the firm is able to supply all the material necessary. It is hoped too that this venture, if it proves popular, will lead to further sets of designs and instructions being prepared so as to cover a complete range of models. • 0 E H H The A. E. Jones r.o.g. No. 1 monoplane, R.O.G. No. 1, is of the tractor type ; it has a wing span of 32 ins., and when complete the weight of the machine should not exceed 4 ozs., in fact, it will probably be found to come out about 3J ozs. There are two blue prints, one showing the general arrange- ment and the other the details, and in order to facilitate reference the various parts are numbered, corresponding with numbers on the general arrangement drawing. The fuselage of the machine is a hollow spar and the frame- work of the wings, tail and rudder is of wire. The instructions clearly indicate the procedure to be followed in making these parts, and great care has been taken to obviate mistakes being made. When it is stated that the machine has been designed by Mr. C. Burchell, it will be realised that it is of a very practical type and is the result of a lengthy experience. The '•" ••.
