WITH reference to the statement which has appeared incertain quarters that Messrs. Allen and Simmonds (Reading), Ltd., were shutting down last week, the firm state thatit is not their intention to shut down, although a certain number of employes will probably be put off. This is avery different matter, and this correction should be noted accordingly. Mr. Robert Allen, managing director, writesthat the report was presumably circulated to the Press by someone who has little knowledge of the firm or its doings,since in every case they are referred to as " motor engineers," ignoring the fact that they have been much longer estab-lished as piston makers and engineers for marine, loco- motive and fixed engines, air compressors, pumps, etc. OWING to the cessation of aircraft manufacture by a largenumber of firms who took up this class of work during the War, Messrs. Cellon (Richmond), Ltd., have found that innumerous cases supplies of Cellon dope and dope coverings, identification mark colours, brush washes, etc., have beenpurchased by firms outside the aircraft industry, who from time to time offer them for sale to those who are still carryingon in the industry. Messrs. Cellon. therefore, would like to point out that, while they are at all times prepared to reportand advise on the use of any of their own materials which are in the hands of aircraft builders, they cannot acceptany responsibility for materials purchased from outside sources. THE Sunbeam Motor-Car Co., Ltd., have appointed Mr.C. R. Andrews as manager for their new London depot and showrooms, 12, Princes Street, Hanover Square, W. 1.Mr. Andrews has had a long and varied experience in the motor-trade, being for ten years (from 1902) with the Lan-chester Motor Co., Ltd., and subsequently, until the War commenced, with the Daimler Co., Ltd. Soon after theoutbreak of hostilities he joined the Royal Naval Air Service, in which he served for some time, and finally obtained therank of Major in the Royal Air Force. On demobilisation, he joined the Sunbeam Motor-Car Co., Ltd., as manager oftheir Southern Service and Repair Depot at Cricklewood on its opening, in which capacity he has made himself ex-tremely popular. Mr. Andrews carries with him to his new sphere of activity the good wishes of all who know him. MESSRS. W. H. DORMAN AND CO., LTD., Stafford, have onexhibit at the Efficiency Exhibition, February 10-26, a rock drill working on the new principles of wave trans-mission, and are giving daily demonstrations of the same. It is the first time in the history of engineering that sucha demonstration of this character has been possible. PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED The Journal of Industrial Administration.
