SIDE-WINDS WE learn that Messrs. Handley Page, Ltd., have just been appointed sole agents for the Triplex safety glass in India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and all enquiries with regard to business in the above-mentioned countries should be sent to them. IT will no doubt be welcome news to many visitors to Bournemouth that the Supermarine Aviation Works have decided to carry on with the flying boat trips at Bournemouth during the autumn and winter on suitable and fine days. As the weather is generally good it is anticipated that there will be few blank days during what would ordinarily be termed " the off season." Demonstration and ordinary pas senger flights will also continue to be given from the slipway at Woolston near Southampton during the winter months. ON one of the regular weekly trips between London and Holland, Mr. C. Turner recently piloted the British Aerial Transport Co.'s saloon machine from Hounslow to Amsterdam in under three hours. MESSRS. VICKERS, LTD., announce that as from the ist inst. the prices of their special alloy " Duralumin " have been reduced. As a guide to present prices it may be stated that on the 15th inst. the basis prices of their various manufactures were as follows :—Sheet and strip, 45. per lb. ; extruded rod and sections, zs. ud. per lb. ; solid drawn tube, 5s. 6d. per lb. ; wire, 4s. &d. per lb. ; rivets, 5s. nd. per lb.; rolled and drawn angles and channels, ys. 6d. per lb. Detailed price list of extras for these various sections will be forwarded on application to Messrs. Vickers, Ltd., Vickers House, Broad way, Westminster, S.W.i. ELECTRIC fans for all purposes are shown in a catalogue which is to hand from the Sun Electrical Co., Ltd., of 118-120, Charing Cross Road, W.C.2. Desk and wall fans are supplied in a wide range of sizes and types, including fixed base, swivel and trunnion, oscillating and convertible wall brackets. Ceiling fans are made in two patterns—for fitting close to the ceiling or on a down rod—and for either continuous or alternat ing current. Another speciality of this firm is a small power electric motor, the range of models being from 1/30 h.p. up to J h.p. Anyone interested can obtain a copy of the list by applying to the company at the above address. A LITTLE booklet to hand from the General Electric Co., Ltd., gives details and prices of the various types of Osram lamps made for automobile and aeronautical work, but which are equally suitable for many other purposes. The filaments are tough and durable and specially supported in each lamp so as to make them vibration-proof. In the headlight lamps the filaments are so arranged that practically a " point source " of light is procured, enabling a parallel beam to be obtained from properly designed reflectors. Users of electric lamps on cars, etc., should make a point of sending for this useful little booklet. Loading up the B.A.T. commercial aeroplane at Houns low for its recent emergency flight to Amsterdam, when it carried over 600 lbs. of freightage, including a consignment of Emaillite, urgently wanted by the Dutch Government, and ordered through Messrs.
