SIDE-WINDS IN view of the success which has attended the fortnightlyconferences and discussions now being held by the Industrial Reconstruction Council, and the universal demand for theircontinuance, a second series has been arranged for January, February and March of next year. They will be held onTuesdays, as before, in the Hall of the Institute of Journalists, at 6 p.m. - The first, under the title of " Reconstruction or Restora-tion ? " will deal with the general principles which should guide us during the difficult transition period, and will beopened by Major H. J. Gillespie, D.S.O., on January 14th. The other meetings will discuss the Workers' Interest in Costingthe Place of the Merchant in British Industry, Welfare Work, Wages and Conditions of Employment in relation tofuture Industrial Prosperity, and Industry and Educational Reconstruction ; the opening address in each case beingdelivered by Mr. A. Webster Jenkinson, F.C.A. (Controller of Factory Audit and Costs), Sir Charles McLeod (Chairmanof the Imperial Commercial Association), Miss Newcome (Secretary of the Central Association of Welfare Workers),Capt. James O'Grady, M.P. (Secretary of the National Federation of General Workers), and Mr. F. W. Sanderson,M.A. (Headmaster of Oundle School). No tickets will be issued, but all those who intend to bepresent are asked kindly to inform the Secretary, I.R.C., 2 and 4, Tudor Street, E.C.4, who will be glad to send a fullprospectus of the series on application. -....."•;- FROM Messrs. Brown Brothers, of Great Eastern Street,E.C., come particulars of the " Autoclipse " Dope Can, for which they are the wholesale agents. It is round, 7 ins.diameter, and has an inclined mouth to ensure the return of all excess material lifted by the brush, while the bottom ishollowed to enable all the contents to be used. A bail handle is fitted, and there is also a palette grip. It is made in twostyles—one with a plain flap and the other with an aperture to accommodate the brush handle—and the price of eitheris 6s. THE first dinner and concert of the Athletic Club formed inconnection with the firm of Rubberine, Ltd., was held at Torino's on the 27th ult., and it is hoped that it will be thefirst of a long series of similar fixtures. Mr. Arthur T. Marks, Managing Director of the firm and president of the Club, wasin the chair, supported by Mr. Sydney Tappenden, Works Manager and Vice-President. An excellent musical pro-gramme was under the direction of Mr. J. Green, Secretary of the Club, and among those who contributed were MissCoxhead and Messrs. G. Goodley, S. * Tappenden, H. A. Woodford, W. Wallace and P. Daveney. During the intervalthe Chairman- presented medals (provided t>y the firm) to the tug-o'-war team to commemorate their winning thechallenge cup at the London Munition Sports held at Herne Hill in July last. A LINE from the Acetylene Equipment "Co., Ltd., of 268-270South Lambeth Road, S.W. 8, reminds us that in conse- quence of the removal of the restrictions on the sale of calciumcarbide, from December 1st D.A. cylinders can.now be obtained without an M.O.M. permit. IN these busy days of reconstruction the telephone is inconstant use, bringing out more than ever the advantages of the Lazilite device, which enables the telephone to be alwaysat hand and yet never to be in the way on the desk. The " Lazilite " arrangement of the arm enables it to be adjustedto a wide range of positions, and it is so designed and balanced that the slightest touch is all that is necessary to bring itinto position for use or send it back to its closed position. The Lazilite Co., 5, Baldwin's Gardens, Gray's Inn Road,W.C. 2, will be glad to give full particulars at any time, or to advise as to the possibility of installing their system. FROM the Aircraft Supplies Co., Ltd., comes a set of thelatest Ascol charts, which are simply invaluable for hanging up for reference in places where A.G.S. pa^ts are used. Thenut-and-bolt chart has been supplemented with a section showing the A.G.S. washers, and A.G.S. eyebolts have beenincluded, although they do not seem to be used so much as some of the other A.G.S. parts. In view of the popularityof the Ascol length and weight chart for bolts, Mr. G. H. Mansfield has prepared similar charts relating to otherA.G.S. parts, including nuts, studs, eye-bolts and strainers. Anyone engaged in the aircraft industry who would likesets of these charts should make written application to the Aircraft Supplies Co., Ltd., Ascol House, 125, Long Acre,W.C. 2.

Identification Mark for Aircraft[1970] The time seems ripe for the introduction of a standard identification mark or flag to be carried on allBritish commercial aircraft. It occurs to me that before we commence taking people by air to view the battlefields ofFlanders we should decide on some means of letting the Belgians know that a British commercial aircraft passesover their heads.
