UESI The neat engine mounting and cowling of the C.A.M.S. flying boat. This has been made possible by fitting two very small radiators of an unfamiliar type. At first sight these radiators appear to be Lamblins of special type, but we are informed that they were made by Botali and Clement. The main characteristics of the C.A.M.S. 30E are as follows : Length o.a., crgg ms. (32 ft. 10 ins.); span, 13 ms. (42 ft. 7 ins.) area, 43sq.ms. (460sq.ft.); weight empty, i,o8okgs. (2,380lbs.); fuel for three hours, 125 kgs. (275 lbs.) ; useful load, 170 kgs. (370 lbs.); total loaded weight, 1,375 kgs. (3 010 lbs.) ; landing speed, 60 kms. (30 miles) per hour ; maximum speed, 145 kms. (90 miles) per hour. DECEMBER 28, 1922 In addition to the school machine C.A.M.S. produce several other types, among which mention may be made of the racer C.A.M.S. 36, which was built for the Coupe Schneider, but did not get finished in time to take part in the race. It is to be hoped that Mr. Santoni, who will be remembered by . readers of FLIGHT as managing director of the British Deper- dussin Co. before the War, will come to England next summer to compete for the Schneider Cup. The C.A.M.S. racer differs from the machine shown in that it is a tractor, with the pilot's cockpit placed aft of the wings. This arrangement has presumably been chosen with a view to providing greater safety for the pilot in case of a crash, and would appear to have a good deal to recommend it. The C.A.M.S. 31 is an hydravion de chasse, with 300 Hispano engine. It is a smaller machine than the 30E, and has a maximum speed of about 120 m.p.h. A large commercial flying-boat is now under Construction Sketch showing the small Botali radiators on the C.A.M.S. flying boat. at the works at St. Denis. This is a twin-engined machine, with two Hispano engines of 275 h.p. each, placed not on the wings but one behind the other above the hull. Thus should one engine fail there is no turning moment, and it is stated that with but one engine running the machine still has a speed of about 80 m.p.h. at 3,000 ft. With both engines running the speed is estimated to be about no m.p.h. at sea level. With fuel for 300 miles the paying load of this machine will be 2,150 lbs., or just under 4 lbs./h.p., which is not bad for a twin-engined flying boat.
