AUGUST 6, 1925 FEATURES OF SOME OF THE LYMPNE MACHINES A FEW DETAILS AT LYMPNE : 1. The enlarged petrol gravity tank on the A.N.E.C. monoplane. 2. The Airdisco engine and its mounting in the Avro 504. 3. The unusual aileron crank and pulley arrangement on the Bristol " Bloodhound," 4. The Oleo under-carriage of the Avro-Lynx is characterised by a very long travel. " STOP THAT LEAK " : Different methods of closing the gap between rear spar and aileron in some of the Lympne machines. 1. In the Beardmore "Wee Bee " an aluminium strip is used with edges turned over for stiffening purposes. The front edge is covered by fabric strip doped on. 2. In the A.N.E.C, an aluminum strip is used, stiffened by fore-and-aft corrugations, while in 3, the Parnall " Pixie II " three- ply is employed, and in 4, the Cranwell monoplane, rubber strip. This was later removed as it tended to cause the controls to work stiffly. 511 V
