JANUARY 8, 1925 Another Practical Bristol "Jupiter " Test IN the issue of FLIGHT for October 16 last we published a report on a test under actual flying conditions with a Bristol " Jupiter " engine. This engine was fitted in the " Bristol " freight carrier operated by Imperial Airways, Ltd., on their Continental air routes, and flown under most searching conditions for a period totalling 150 hours. When the first engine was removed for inspection, a second " Jupiter " engine was immediately fitted in order that the aircraft might be maintained in service. Under similar conditions the second engine was run without incident for a period of 157 hours. During 90 hours of this period special observations were made as to petrol and oil consumptions, when the average petrol consumption averaged 23-9 galls, per hour and the oil consumption 7-fi pints. During one single day the freighter was operated continuously for 14 hours on the London-Cologne service, collecting and dropping freight at eight different air ports, and throughout the total period the running of the-engine was perfect.
