The goodwill and business, patterns, dies, jigs and tools have been bought by the Light Production Co., of 60-66, Rochester Row, Westminster. S.W.I, and delivery can in most cases be given from stock. The Light Production Co. are in a unique position as regards the manufacture of these patent com- ponents, as they have for many years supplied thousands of aluminium alloy pistons weekly to the most famous car and engine builders. The same extreme accuracy which is necessary- to satisfy these exacting customers will be put into Aerolite pistons in future. m m m m Aero Golfing SocietyTHE following is a list of fixtures of the Aero Golfing Society for 1925 :—Winter Meeting, March 5.—At Addington Golf Club.
