NOVEMBER 13, 1919 of the full service record tablet are : Overall size of back plate, 18 ins. by 13 ins.; size of metal plaque, 7 ins. by 4$ ins. ; size of inscription plate, 7 ins. by 2 ins.; and, with a brief inscription, the price is four guineas complete. The crest plaque, suitably mounted on a smaller tablet, can be had for two guineas. In this connection it should be noted that the tablets can be obtained from Messrs. Vickery's, of Regent Street, Berkeley, Ltd., of Victoria Street, and Self ridge's. ONE of the most striking exhibits at Olympia is the new Hispano-Suiza car, and it has a special interest for all con cerned with aviation, being largely the outcome of the wide experience gained by this company in the building of aero engines. It is said that 50 per cent, of the aeroplanes used by the Allies on the various fronts were fitted with Hispano- Suiza motors, and no fewer than 21 different firms were en trusted with the manufacture, 14 of them being French firms. Including the output of the companies manu facturing under licence, a grand total of approximately 50,000 Hispano-Suiza engines were made during the War. It is obvious that an enormous amount of valuable experience was thus acquired, and it is the benefit of this which is em bodied in the new six-cylindered car. Two recent worlds' records gained by Hispano-Suiza aero-motors are the height record of Lieut. Casale and the speed record of Lieut, de Romanet. But some of the greatest exploits with which the name of the Hispano-Suiza is asso ciated are the brilliant deeds of the " Stork " Squadron of the French Air Service, for the immortal Guynemer and his brave comrades of that wonderful squadron achieved their most notable triumphs on Spads so engined. This fact has been the inspiration of a most distinctive and artistic motor The charming mascot on Hispano-Suiza cars mascot. It consists of a silver stork in full flight, and it will be the exclusive mark of the new Hispano-Suiza cars. In the grace and elegance of its lines there is a suggestion of swiftness in this mascot which indicates with great appro priateness the close connection between a famous chapter in the history of the War in the air and the evolution of a wonderful car. Congratulations to M. Birkigt, the de signer of these motors, and the directors of " Entente In- dustrielle (England) " Ltd., the sole concessionaires for Great Britain. MESSRS. C, C. WAKEFIELD AND Co., LTD., were unlucky in the ballot for space at the Motor Show, and had to be content with a modest stand in the accessories section. They are, however, exhibiting a range of their famous " Castrol " motor oils and the well-known '* Castrol R," so well known to all aviators, which has so long a record of success on all types of aero-engines. As one of their representatives re marked the other day, " a small stand but a big reputation ! " ON Thursday, November 6, Maj. Draper gave special nights at Hendon on the B.A.T. saloon passenger machine in the presence of visitors from Australia and Spain. Passengers were taken from these countries, all of whom expressed delight at the comfortable saloon, and they were also particularly impressed by the remarkable smooth landing. The Amster dam service is still in operation, but last week, owing to weather conditions, no machine left this country for Holland.
