JULY 22, 1926 A Beaching Trol- ley : The wheel gear of the Rohr- bach is made of Duralumin and is, presumably, less cumbersome than it appears in this photo- graph. Note the cowling of the B.M.W. engines. which the Junkers Works have specialised for years. The engine fitted in the W.33 is a 310 h.p. Junkers type L.5, and the wing area is 43 sq. m (463 sq. ft.). The weight empty is given as 1,383 kgs. (3,043 lbs.), and the total loaded flying weight as 2,100 kgs. (4,620 lbs). A top speed of 185 km./hr. (115-6 m.p.h.) is claimed. No. 8, the Junkers WZ4, is identical with the type W.33, ex- cept for its engine, which is a Gnome and Rhone " Jupiter." The dimensions of the machine are the same, but the empty weight is 1,350 kgs. (2,970 lbs.), and the total loaded weight the same, i.e., 2,100 kgs. (4,620 lbs.). A top speed of 205 km./hr. (128 m.p.h.) is claimed for the W.34. The German constructor represented by the greatest number of machines in the competition is Ernst Heinkel, also a pioneer of aircraft design and construction, who has entered no less than five machines of three different types. JUNKERS AT WARNEMUNDE : The machine shown in the lower right-hand corner is the type W.33, which has a 300 h.p. Junkers L.5 engine. Above is a photograph of the type W.34, similar to the W.33 except that it has a Bristol " Jupiter " engine. On the left is shown the nose of the W.34, illustrating the mounting of the " Jupiter." Note the Reed metal airscrew. 450
