SIDEWINDS OWING to the expansion of output of " Cerric" lacquersand Cellon aeroplane dopes, it was found that the facilities available at the present Cellon Works at Richmond, were notsufficient to cope with the growing demand. It was, there- fore, decided several months ago to purchase 5 acres ofland at Ham, Surrey, for the erection of new works. The erection of these works is progressing very rapidly, and it ishoped they will be completed by the end of the year. For the first year or so after the opening of the new works theywill be run as an additional unit to the present works at Richmond, and during that period the new works will beincreased still further, so that by 1930 it will be possible to cease manufacture at the Richmond works.
