1918

APRIL 4, 1918. 1910-1918 In 1910 Humbers took up the building of aeroplanes, in proof of which the picture on the left bears evidence. On the right—1918—is a portion of the wing-assembling shop in the present aeroplane section of the works. SIDE-WINDS. MOTORISTS in the North will be interested to hear that Messrs. S. Smith and Son (M.A.), Ltd., the well-known motor accessories house have opened a dep6t at 12, Jackson's Row, Deansgate, Manchester, where they will be represented by Mr. J. E. Feay. They propose to carry a good stock of accessories at this depdt and to make it a centre of distribu- tion for Lancashire and Yorkshire. Motorists are invited to call when passing through Manchester, and they will always be sure to find something to interest them. THERE is much work which has been done in connection with aeroplane building which cannot be taken to the machine, and so the machine must be taken to the work. Realising this, the Sun Electrical Co., Ltd., of 118-120, Charing Cross Road, have made a speciality of portable electric tools, and have just published a list of some of their drills, grinders and buffers. This gives full dimensions of each tool, together with its speed and capacity. The firm will be pleased to send a copy to anyone applying to them at 118-120, Charing Cross Road, W.C. HAYS, HUNTER AND STANDEN, LTD., of London and Wolverhampton, whose name is so well known in connection with " Don " brake lining and other specialities, are among the people who look ahead. Finding their business increasing in all directions and in anticipation of further developments after the war, they are, on March 31st, moving their head- quarters to 71, Southwark Street, S.E.i, which from that date onwards will be their only London address. THE Apollo Manufacturing Co. are finding the demands for their No. 8 sparking plugs for rotary aero engines, still on the up grade. This is not surprising bearing in mind a little note which has just been sent by one of the largest manu- facturers of rotary engines. This says that a set of plugs which they have been testing had completed 126 hours' ordinary test bed running and are still running well. The report ends, " This is an extremely satisfactory result." The Apollo Co. will be pleased to send an illustrated list to any one applying to them at Apollo Works,^Moseley Street, Bir- mingham. THOSE who are interested in the phases of the moon should note that the April edition of the C.A.V. moon chart is to hand. Several improvements have been effected by Mr. A. H. Midgley, and, of course, it has been adjusted to " summer time." PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. The Royal Flying Corps in the War. By " Wing'Adjutant." London : Cassell and Co., Ltd.
