E!^ • jAKwjunr 30, 1919 A group of the officers who are responsible for the various departments of Section T.5. etc. As an"\example, examination results Tpho wed con clusively that, in spite of careful explanation during lectures many candidates failed to appreciate a point of which no illustration could be shown. The first picture appealed so strongly to the officers under instruction that it was decided to develop the idea and to adopt this means of dealing with the difficulty explained above. These diagrams deal with such subjects as the dangers of landing across the wind and flattening out too soon or too late, and all the thousand and one pitfalls that beset the path of a pupil learning to fly. Similar diagrams deal with problems of formation flying, fighting in the air, " stunts," etc. T.5 (NT).—The staff of this section is composed mainly of officers (who are responsible for the production of notes on aero-engines and aeroplanes, simply written so as to be easily understood .by pilots as well as mechanics. The illustrations for the notes on engines and machines prepared by T.5 (N) are produced by the Illustrations Section, T.5 (I) which is staffed by black-and-white artists and aero graph operators under the control of an experienced civilian illustrator. The Printing Section,'^.5 (P) deals with specially confidential work such as the printing of R.A.F. Technical Orders and the Controller's Fortnightly Report. It also prints the notes issued by the other departments, and has its own engraving plant'for the making of line blocks and half-tones, illustrating the reports. T.5 (R).—This section is responsible for the distributian~*of all the technical literature, diagrams, etc., produced by the other sections, and according to the official hst issued at frequent intervals so as to be always up to date, comprises,*at the time of issuing the eighth edition of the list, some 3,500 items. Space does not permit a more detailed reference to the work of T.5, bu. sufficient has, we think, been said to give some indication of the variety and magnitude of the work, and we trust that although T.5 came into existence as a War measure it will be retained in some form or other to continue the good work. The officers in charge of the various sections are: Administrative—Lieut. B. C. Rayner. Technical Notes— Mr. P. V. Hoare. Engine Notes—Lieut. A. F. Cressall. Instructional Diagrams—Lieut. L. G, Sewell. Illustrations— Lieut. A. F. Perry. Pictorial Diagrams—Mr. G. H. Daviea. Printing—Lieut. A. L. Thomas. The England-India Handley-Page's arrival at Calcutta Racecourse, from Allahabad, the last stag* of the journey from England.
