New " Argosy " Air Liners THE three new Armstrong-Siddeley " Argosy " air liners now being built in Coventry for Imperial Airways Limited, will be equipped with an interes'ting type of servo-lateral control which.when combined with the anti-stalling automatic slots, will make the machines still safer and easier to fly. The new liners will be fitted with more powerful " Jaguar " engines of the geared type, and as the propellers turn slower in consequence and are situated farther away from the cabin their noise will be less noticeable. An improved arrangement of exhaust piping will also decrease the noise, while the comfort of passengers has been further studied by the perfection of a new type of ventilating system and a very attractive interior colour scheme designed by a well- known artist. Owing to various improvements in design, the cruising speed has been increased from 90 to nearly 100 m.p.h. The radius of action has also been increased from 350 to 500 miles owing to the larger supply of petrol carried. Skywriting Machine Crashes WHILST skywriting for an advertising campaign, an aeroplane crashed at Kostheim, near Wiesbaden, on January 19. The pilot escaped, but the machine was burnt. Mr. Cecil H. BroadhurstTHE well-known publicity adviser, Mr. Cecil H. Broad- hurst, has joined Sternol, Ltd., of 16, Finsbury Square,London, E.C.2, in that capacity. Sternol, Ltd., is one of the oldest lubricant manufacturers in Great Britain. Cellon, LimitedOWING to continued expansion of the business of Cellon (Richmond), Ltd., larger premises have been constructed at Ham Common, Kingston-on-Thames, and the Adminis- trative offices were removed to that address on January 28 last. All correspondence, orders, etc., should now be ad- dressed to : " Cellon, Ltd.," Cellon Works, Upper Ham Road, Kingston-on-Thames. Pending the complete removal of existing plant and machinery to the new premises all goods should be addressed to Cellon Works, Richmond, Surrey, as hitherto, unless otherwise instructed. All the World's Aircraft* THE 1928 edition of that valuable book of reference " All the World's Aircraft," has now been published. Although much the same size as the previous volume, the contents are, we think, even larger than before. As usual, it is divided into sections, but this time in the Historical section the Civil and Service sides have been separated, and now form two parts in themselves (parts A and B). Part C is devoted to aircraft, Civil and Military, of the various nations—all the machines described and illustrated being of latest design, that is, none are obsolete. The American section is remarkably large (68 pages), showing the extraordinary growth of aero- nautics in that country. Part D deals with aero engines and Part E with Airships. Helicopters are included at the end of Part C, while the volume finishes up with an excellent index of aircraft and engines, not only under the constructors' names, but under "type " names as well. Every year, in every sphere, " All the World's Aircraft " gets better and better ! * " All the World's Aircraft." Compiled by C. G. Grey, edited by LeonardBridgman. Sampson Low, 42s. net. 89
