/yp^ DECEMBER 25, 1919 SIDE-WINDS MESSRS. SMITH AND SONS (M.A.) LTD. are proud of the fact, and rightly so, that the Vickers-Vimy-Rolls machine piloted by Capt. Ross Smith and Lieut. Keith Smith, which has achieved such a great triumph in flying from Britain to Aus tralia in 28 days was equipped with the following Smith instru ments and accessories -.—Revolution indicators, airspeed indi cators, Cambridge radiator thermometer, plugs and Husun compasses, Type 253. It is also worthy of note that every competitor in the Australian Competition had his machine equipped with Smith instruments, viz.:—Capt. Matthews (Sopwith); Capt. Wilkins (Blackburn Kangaroo); Lieut. Douglas (Alliance) and Lieut. Howell (Martinsyde). THE Dissolved Acetylene Co., Ltd., 268, South Lambeth Road, familiarly known throughout the trade as D.A., held their Dinner, Annual, at the Horse Shoe Hotel, the Day .4 iter Friday of last week, when a large gathering of employees decidedly arose to the festive feeling prevalent and did justice to the excellent fare provided. In addition a dis tinguished assembly of visitors also entered whole-heartedly into the enjoyment both before and after meat. Mr. L. M. Fox, who has always the employees' interests at heart, occupied the chair, supported by Mrs. and Miss Fox, and under his ever-watchful eye no reveller was found neglected of due attention; in fact, every waiter, not forgetting Mr. Lucas, who had the arrangement in hand, was kept decidedly alert. Many interesting speeches were made regarding the develop ments ahead, also development achieved due assuredly to the loyalty of both the men and women of the firm. The evening closed all too soon, but no one failed to distinctly acclaim a grand evening. AN observant visitor to both the Car Show and the Motor Cycle Show at Olympia noted a fine achievement by Messrs. C. A. Vandervell and Co., Ltd. He records that among cars fitted with lighting and starting sets the Acton firm were easily first, having their C.A.V. sets upon 128 cars, or 32 per cent, of the number of entire exhibits. At the Motor Cycle Show 148 machines were fitted with C.A.V. magnetos, prac tically the same large percentage. IT is interesting to note that every aeroplane, seaplane and airship which has crossed, or attempted to cross, the Atlantic was equipped with " Tabloid " First-Aid. • MSB NEW COMPANIES REGISTERED DA VIES AND STACK, LTD., 30, Bedford Row, W.C.—Capital £600, in £1 shares.
