SEPTEMBER 24, 1925 A BRITISH CHALLENGER THEISCHNEIDER CUP RACE : Three views of the Supermarine—Napier S.4 monoplane. These official photographs do not do justice to the machine, which is of exceptionally pleasing lines and of very clean design. The under-carriage is unbraced, the four steel tube struts being cantilevers, which provide a considerable amount of springing of the floats. In the lower photograph the tube leading to the pilot's cockpit is the lead from the Bristol starter engine by means of which the Napier engine is started. ^ 611 c 2
