The names and addresses of the writers, notnecessarily for publication, must in all cases accompany letters intended for insertion in these columns AERO ENGINE'S[2036] STRENUOUS TEST Safety in flying depends on the reliability of the engine. It is, therefore, to the engine manufacturers that one must look for producing an engine capable of with- standing the most strenuous tests, whose reliability wil popularise flying. Realising the responsibility of the engine, we have always carried out the most strenuous tests and trials with the 450 h.p. Napier aero engines—the same type as gained for the Vickers-Viking, Handley Page and Westland Aircraft the highest prizes in each of the three classes in the re«ent British Air Ministry Competitions. We have just completed an even more thorough and strennous British Government type test with the 450 h.p. Napier aero engine. This test consisted, of running the engine for 50 hours ; after which it was put to a further 5 hours test of an even more arduous nature, viz. :— High speed test of— 1 hour at 2,300 revs, per min. at 352 b.h.p. - ^ High power test of— f 1 hour at 2,100 revs, per min. at 454.5 b.h.p. WV-AV I ,, 2,015 ,, 457 1 ,, 2,^225 ,, 532 1 ,, 2,026 ,, 490 ,, It will be seen that for one hour this aero engine was run at the remarkably high horse-power of 532, which is a wonderful performance for an engine built to develop 450 h.p. At the conclusion of the test—more strenuous than the engine may ever be put to in actual flying—it was running perfectly, and ready for further service. H. T. VANE.
