WAKEFIELD AND CO., LTD., are naturally proud of the fact that the world's record flight of Mr. Prodger on a Handley-Page with 40 passengers was accomplished— as was his earlier trip with 20 passengers over two years ago —with the aid of Castrol R as the lubricant. It speaks well for the high quality of this famous oil when practically every record flight made in this country has been achieved with its assistance, and the reputation it has enjoyed through- out the whole of the war among the Air Services is an enviable one. No doubt the name of Wakefield Castrol will play a prominent part in after-war aviation and motoring. FROM Mr. Stuart A. Hirst, of the Blackburn Aeroplane and Motor Co., Ltd., comes a useful idea in the shape of an ever asting blotting-pad. Practical as he always is We were very interested to hear that Mr. Hirst had tested one efiectively or three months before deciding to utilise it as a Blackburn souvenir. Any reader of " FLIGHT " who could make use of one should send along their name to Mr. Hirst at the Black- burn headquarters, Olympia, Leeds. THE fifth lecture of the series arranged by the Industrial Reconstruction Council will be held in the Saddlers' Hall, Cheapside, E.C.2, on Wednesday, November 27th. The chair will be taken at 4.30 by the Right Hon. J. H. Whitley, M.P., and a lecture on " Labour and Industrial Develop- ment " will be delivered by Mr. Ernest J. P. Benn, C.B.E., Chairman of the Council. Application for tickets should be made well in advance to the Secretary, I.R.C., 2 and 4 Tudor Street, E.C. 4. ~ , . IF you are interested in motor cars you cannot do better than become a regular reader of the Auto., whose yellow cover has been so familiar to motorists for the past 22 years Always bright and informative, each succeeding issue is a promise of better things in the near future. New developments in cars and accessories are described in its pages with refreshing vim, and to miss any one issue may mean to lose just the information for which you are looking. Your newsagent will ensure that your copy reaches your breakfast table every Friday morning. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS, 1917-1918.
