.1 SIDE-WINDS BARIMAR, LTD., have a reputation for not staying at home Another important development has just been concluded by the establishment of an Australian branch factory in Brisbane. Headquarters have been secured at 150, Elizabeth Street, and will be in the capable hands of Mr. F. O'Donnell, a. man of considerable business attainments. He is well-known throughout Queensland, and during the War held the rank of Colonel with the Australian forces in Gallipoli. The position of works manager will be filled by Mr. G. D. McKenzie, who is recognised as a leading welding authority in Australia. The premises are, we understand, fully equipped with all the latest appliances and plant, and all effective processes in every phase of the welding industry will be operated. Although the present headquarters are in Queensland, arrangements are being made to establish branch factories throughout the whole of Australia. Expert British welders sailed for " down under " on the Orient liner S.S. Ormonde on December 18 last. These men have received their training in the London works of Barimar, and are thoroughly conversant with the re-creation of all kinds of broken motor-car parts, and all classes of locomotive and boiler repairs, ship and marine work. In addition, a specially trained artisan will operate the Barimar metallurgical process for repairing scored cylinders and the salving of new castings which, through blowholes or other blemishes, would otherwise have to be scrapped. AN artistically produced catalogue has just come to hand from the Sunbeam Motor-Car Co., describing and illustrating the 1921 models of this famous make of motor-car. As is stated in the foreword, the outstanding success of the 1920 16 h.p. and 24 h.p. Sunbeam models determined the company to adhere more or less closely to the same chassis designs for their 1921 models. In fact the 1921 chassis reveal but slight differences in matters of detail. In the coachwork, again, several minor alterations are to be found, all of which make for greater comfort, and an entirely new model has been added to the list, in the shape of an exceedingly handsome totally- enclosed saloon, which should appeal specially to those who drive their own cars. IT.is a matter of common knowledge that every British flying record made, and practically every prize won, during 1920 appears on the record of successes of Wakefield Castrol R. By way of neatly finishing off the year's work was the remark- able 55 hours' test of the Napier " Lion," particulars of which have already been given in our columns. Once again Castrol R. was the lubricant enabling this engine to go through probably the most severe test that any aero engine has been subjected to up to date. THOSE who are interested in the subject of case-hardening will find much useful information in a booklet just published by Messrs. N. Taylor and Son, of 17, Goree-Piazzas, Liverpool, makers of Hydro-carbonated bone black for case-hardening It touches on such topics as apparatus, materials, packing, re-heating, hardening heats, as well as giving a good deal of general information on the subject. m w. m m NEW COMPANY REGISTERED TOY AERIAL, TERRENE AND SUB-AQUAL MOTOR CO., LTD., I8A, Northampton Square, E.C.I.—Capital /i.ooo, in ^5 shares.
