SIDE-WINDS * To MEET the needs of the increasing numbers of theirIrish customers Messrs. Barimar, Ltd., of 10, Poland Street, Oxford Street, London, W. i, have now opened branch workswith head offices at 185, Great Brunswick Street, Dublin. Barimar (Ireland), Ltd., are working in close associationwith the parent company in London, and a large number of Irish orders have already been received. British weldingexperts who have long worked in Barimar's London factories have gone over to Dublin, and every known effective weldingprocess will be brought into use, so that repairs of any de- scription will be dealt with suitably. The latest weldingplants have been installed, and there are fully-equipped machine-shops that are so essential to meet the needs ofcustomers who desire, with the minimum delay, to put back into use fractured parts that have been re-created.Additional Barimar branches are already arranged for, and are in course of formation, in France, Australia (3), NewZealand, Delhi, Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Karachi, Burma, Ceylon, South and East Africa, Denmark, Norway andSweden. A LIST of new lines now sold by Messrs. Brown Brothers,Ltd., of Great Eastern Street, E.C.2, contains several items of considerable interest to motorists. Those who havetrouble in starting their cars in cold weather should note the " Quick-Start " vaporiser, a device which utilises the heatfrom an electric lamp to warm the air entering the carburettor. Another line specially useful at this time of the year is" Puralite," a substance which is claimed to prevent rain, frost, snow or sleet from adhering to the windscreen. THE recent severe weather resulted in bad frost fracturesto thousands of motor cylinders and radiators, and Barimar, Ltd., the scientific welding engineers of 10, Poland Street,London, W. 1, found it necessary to make special arrange- ments for the instantaneous treatment of these parts by oneof their special processes, with the result that many owners were able to have their cars back in commission within about24 hours. MESSRS. ACCLES AND POLLOCK, LTD., of Oldbury, arereceiving enquiries from several of their friends as to whether or not they have made any change with respect to theirrepresentation in Australasia. The present representatives on the spot are Messrs. Kemsley and Co. (Proprietary), Ltd.,but the suggestion is made that a private individual has been appointed, and that the firm named has been deposed. Itwould almost appear as though someone representing himself to be a gentleman has gone a little beyond the usual limitlaid down by commercial travellers, and has given voice to a decided untruth. It is rather remarkable to learn thatit is reported of the same individual that he and the Americans are going to do all the business with Australiathat is to be done. Our friends, Messrs, Accles and Pollock, Ltd., while giving the Asquithian advice to "wait and see,"will themselves remain active as before in the pursuit of their business. MRS. ATKEY, the lady who is learning to fly on an Avroat Hounslow, has now completed her course of dual flying, and a few days ago made her first solo flight. It is hopedthat she will soon pass the tests for her " ticket." THE machine which was flown by Capt. Wrigley, of theAustralian Air Force, accompanied by Sergt. Murphy, from Melbourne to Port Darwin to meet Capt. Sir Ross Smith,was a B.E. 2E, with 90 h.p. R.A.F. engine. It was con- structed in 1915 at the works of the British and ColonialAeroplane Co., Ltd., at Filton, the home of the famous " Bristol " aeroplanes, and has been in more or less constantoperation since that time. It was the first time Australia has been flown across, and the machine for the journey of2,500 miles was in the air for 46 hours. H H H HA Carburettor Claim THE Royal Commission on awards to inventors, Mr.Justice Sargant presiding, on January 12, heard a claim by Messrs. H. M. Hobson, Ltd., in respect of carburettors.Mr. Bevan, K.C., counsel for the applicants, said the claim was in respect of royalties upon a large number ofcarburettors made under letters patent owned by that com- pany. The claim fell under two heads—the first in respectof royalties upon carburettors made by the applicant company itself upon agreed terms which excluded royalties. The otherbranch of the claim was in respect of carburettors made, by arrangement, by other firms. JANUARY 15, 1920 PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED s 'Report No. 31. Development of Air Speed Nozzles.
