IN connection with the new licences, which have TO becarried on the car, one point which should be borne in mind by those who are purchasing the necessary holder is that asthis will be a permanent fitting on the car it is advisable to have one that is well made. We illustrate two types of whichimmediate delivery can be given by Messrs. S. Smith and Sons (M.A.), Ltd., of 179-185, Great Portland Street, London,W. 1. Needless to say, in common with all Smith's accessories, this licence-holder is finished in the very best style, and. what is more, is sold in the one style at a very moderate price, viz., 55. in brass and 65. in nickel. This model is intended to screw drectly on to the wind-screen or any other prominent near-side portion of the car. THE second style illustrated is the " de luxe " model,which is designed to match the speedometers and bezel-wind clocks made by the same firm. It is secured by means of abracket as shown, which can be disposed at will at the bottom, top or either side of the holder proper, thus permitting theholder to be fitted in any desired position. It can also be supplied with a clip fitting, for use on motor-cycles, securingit to the frame or handle-bar. Of this " de luxe " pattern the prices are 75. bd. and 8s. 6d. respectively for brass andnickel finishes. Made throughout in the Cricklewood works of the firm, these holders are already being supplied to ScotlandYard for all cars, cycles and vans used by that department. IT is encouraging to hear that efforts are being made in Australia to keep aviation flying. Messrs. Simpson and Tregilles write from Perth, W. Australia, that they are building two small two-seaters, and1 they have ordered an A.W. FK 8 from the Disposal Co. They have secured a long lease of the best 50 acres of land suitable for an aero- drome, and are putting up a large hangar. Good luck to them. WORD also comes from Pratt Brothers that they have established the Geelong Air Service in Victoria, Australia, and are seeking agencies for aeroplanes, seaplanes and parts, aero engines, timbers, fabrics, dope, small parts, etc., as well as wood-working machinery and aviation instruments and accessories. Their aerodrome is at Geelong, Victoria, Australia. • B H H H ^ PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED Motor Cycling and Lubrication. C. C. Wakefield and Co., . Ltd., Wakefield House, Cheapside, E.C.2.

DECEMBER 30, 1920 COMPANY MATTERS C. A. Vandervell and Co. THE report for the year ended March 31, 1920, states that notwithstanding the setback in the motor-trade during the autumn of 1919 (owing to moulders' strike) the . ^rnover for year under review was substantially increased. Extensions to works are now nearing completion, which will practically double its capacity. The directors state they have secured certain patent rights, which should have considerable bearing on future prosperity of company. The profit, less provision for income tax, £20,000, amounts to ^106,206, and ^139,293, is brought forward. The dividend on preferred ordinary shares of 10 per cent, absorbs £30,000, and directors recommend placing to reserve ^7S»0O° an^ carrying forward ^140,499. Owing to the general industrial position, directors have decided to retain all available funds, in particular to make provision towards cost of extensions mentioned above, and they therefore do not propose to recommend the dis- tribution of any further dividend this year by way of participation. - - .- ...•.-' Sopwith Aviation CompanyON the petition of Messrs.
