counter shaft, and a pedal controlled shoe-type brake on the rear axle belt rim. The experimental model is a good hill climber, but the forthcoming one for mass production pro mises to be better in all details, And to prove an exceedingly useful little runabout. THE June number of Mayfair is a very remarkable produc tion. Apart from its regular features it has a very fine aircraft supplement dealing with the many activities of the group of companies controlled by Mr. G. Holt Thomas. There are dozens of beautiful photographs showing prac tically every type of aircraft, airship, aeroplane and seaplane, which have been produced by the Aircraft Manufacturing Co. and its allied concerns during the War, and many views giving a few glimpses of the many works which were utilised lo meet the great demand for Airco products. There are two " Spy" cartoons, Mr. G. Holt-Thomas and Gen. Brancker, and in each case Sir Leslie Ward has succeeded in giving us the best possible portrait. There are also portraits of Generals Sykes, Trenchard and Ashmore, Col. O'Gorman, M^. Burroughes and Mr. Peck. Among the other articles in this number may be mentioned " The Future of British Sea Power," by Mr. Archibald Hurd ; "The 'Plane and the Pen," by Gilbert Frankau; a cartoon of Mr. Justice Sankey by Mr. R. Jerrold-Nathan. Altogether the number is worth many times the two shillings charged for it. THE Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders has en tered into an agreement with the Society of British Aircraft Constructors, one of the provisions of which is that Bond- signers shall be at liberty to exhibit aircraft goods at Aircraft Exhibitions approved by the S.B.A.C. FOR the convenience of their London customers and clients in the South of England generally, Messrs. Richard Mather and Son, of Shoreham Street Works, Sheffield, have opened an office at 8, Well Court, Bow Lane, Cheapside, E.C. 4, where their friends can communicate urgent requirements, and receive prompt attention. They will ultimately carry a small stock of their varied productions in tools and cutlery, but in the meantime their London representative, Mr. T. E. Riley, will be glad to receive communications and deal immediately with urgent enquiries and orders at the London office, of which the telephone No. is Central 10898. MESSRS. ARNOTT AND HARRISON, LTD., inform us that their works will be closed each week from 6 p.m. on Fridays to 7.45 a.m. on Mondays, commencing the week ending Friday, June 13. During these hours they will be unable to despatch or accept delivery of goods. " THE Craft of the Propeller Maker " is the title of a beautiful album which has just been produced by Messrs. W. D. Oddy and Co., of Leeds. It consists of a series of full page photographs, printed in colours, illustrating the various stages of a built-up four-bladed propeller, and opposite each picture is reproduced a photograph showing the shop in which the particular stage of the process is carried out. Doubtless Messrs. W. D. Oddy and Co. will be pleased to send a copy of this charming book to any interested in the question of propeller making. ALL who have had to do with the handling of large numbers of employees know how important it is that all clocks through out the works should synchronise. Messrs. Gent and Co., of Faraday Works, Leicester, have given a great deal or study to this question, and a little booklet, " To Obtain 47' Efficient Hours," gives some details of their " start and cease work " sound signals and other time gadgets which make their Pulsynetic Impulse Clock system so eminentlv useful in modern manufacture. They will be pleased to send a copy of this booklet to any reader of FLIGHT who is inter ested in this subject. COMMANDER BURLAMAQUI, who is visiting this country in the company of the President of Brazil, visited the works of the Aircraft Manufacturing Co. on June 5, and made a detailed inspection of the erecting, fitting, and other shops. Afterward he went down to the aerodrome, and was shown the Airco 9 and Airco 16 biplanes, which he inspected in detail. THIS week all the chief West-End cinemas, including the West-End Cinema, will for the first time show a Pathe Freres film (taken by Mr. J. Andrews) of the manufacture of Triplex safety glass. All interested in this wonderful unsplinterable glass should make a point of going to see how it is made A few weeks later it will be shown in most of the suburbs.
