To be Married. The engagement is announced between Plight-Lieut. DENYS GILLEY, D.F.C., R.A.F., younger son of James Broad Gilley, of Grand Hotel, Torquay, and KATHLEEN BEYNON, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. CHARLES B. STOCKEN, of 75, North Gate, Regent's Park, N.W. The engagement is announced between FRANK ST. DAVID BENWELL LEJEUNE, R.A., and R.A.F., second son of Mr. and Mrs. F. Lejeune of Bedford, and JOYCE MARY, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. CHARLES E. DAVIES, of Branscombe, Poynder's Road, S.W.4. <8> <$> The Maitland Aeronautical Collection MANY interested collectors, and others, attended Messrs. Hodgson's auction rooms on December 11, when the valuable collection of aeronautical engravings, books, and objets d'art formed by the late Air-Commodore E. M. Maitland were sold. The copies in manuscript or corrected typescript of " The Log of R.34 " were bought, for £105, by that keen pioneer supporter of aeronautics Sir Charles Wakefield. He also bought the autograph presentation copy of the first edition of Kipling's " Actions and Reactions," which fetched £90. Stainless Steel AT an informal meeting of the Junior Institution of Engineers on Friday, November 21, Mr. J. G. Hopcraft spoke on the subject of " Stainless Steel." He dealt with the methods of working the metal by forging, casting and rolling, etc., and with the heat treatment. He pointed out that the special properties of stainless steel were inherent properties, and not merely superficial. The properties of withstanding heat and corrosion and remaining bright were produced immediately after tempering and removal of the scale, with polishing if necessary. The fact that the steel had to be heat treated after being worked imposed a limitation on the size of job which could be undertaken. Stainless steel had good heat-resisting qualities, and would not scale up to about Married. ARTHUR LESLIE CHICK, Flight-Lieut. R.A.F., eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Chick, of Shenfield, Essex, was married on December 5, at St. Edward's Church, Golders Green, to ANGELA MARY, eldest daughter of the late JAMES GOSGROVE, of Dumfries, and Mrs. GOSGROVE, Maryhill Road, Glasgow. Item. The will of the late Capt. RUPERT HART MEERS, M.A., late of the R.A.F., of The Red House, Chislehurst, Kent, and of Fenchurch Street, E.C., who died on October 26, has been proved at £18,040. <3> <$> 800° C, and while it could not be expected to machine like mild steel, with the right degree of hardness and a little experience in the use of the tools for the particular job, the turning and screwing, etc., of the metal could be carried out without much difficulty. A new stainless steel, combining a high degree of resistance to corrosion with extreme malle ability, had recently been brought out under the name of " Stabrite," which could be produced in sheets for cold- pressed articles requiring no further heat treatment. It could not be hardened, but could be welded, soldered, and brazed fairly easily. Aeroplane Performance Estimates THE Minutes of Proceedings, No. 11, of the Institution of Aeronautical Engineers contains a full report of the ex tremely interesting Paper on " Aeroplane Performance Esti mates " which was read before the Institution by Mr. R. Chadwick, on February 8 last. All the diagrams referred to in the Paper are reproduced, and the discussion which followed is also given. The publication in these " Minutes of Pro ceedings " of the various Papers read before the Institution is undoubtedly of considerable value to all interested in the study of aeronautics, and we would remind our readers once again that copies of these publications may be obtained from the Secretary, Inst.Ae.E., 60, Chancery Lane, W.C.2, price Is. 6d. each. <s> <s> <£> <$> ^ttm ^40| 1 1 ^^^JrSm f*~?" p ^ Hi I .- •** -*#"' - 2S .:• • • ^ *"*' •'• ' "*J<--•••*«" • -•J.:~a :- •• ": T W WITH A BRISTOL JUPITER IN MESOPOTAMIA: We show above a "Nighthawk" Fighter fitted with- a 400 h.p.
