FLIGHT, NOVEMBER 17, 1932 Vh e CIRRUS NAME PLATES ANY private owner or operator of an •** aircraft which is fitted with a Cirrus or Hermes engine can obtain, free of charge, a name plate from the Cirrus-Hermes Engineering Co., Ltd., Croydon. These plates are produced in nickel silver with the Cirrus-Hermes lettering in blue, and, whilst they are primarily intended as engine revolu tion plates on the dashboard, they can also serve for " No Smoking " notices or for recording the airman's name and address. Those of our readers who intend writing for these plates should state their engine number, type of machine and also their address. A NEW JOINTING YY/E are notified by James Walker & " Co., Ltd., Lion Works, Woking, Surrey, of a new oil and petrol resist ing jointing which they have placed on the market. It is known as " Gas- koid," and it is claimed for it that it is impervious to the action of oil and petrol. It has been officially accepted by the Air Ministry for use on Service aircraft. " Gaskoid," according to its specification, contains no rubber or rubber substitute, and will not disin tegrate. It is suitable for sump joints or valve cover joints or any condition where an oil and petrol joint is re quired. It is supplied in sheets or in cut joints. ANOTHER AGENCY FOR HENLYS IIENLYS, LTD., whose Aviation De- * l partment is at Heston Airport, announce that they have been favoured with the agency of the " Gull," and that they will be pleased to arrange demonstrations for prospective pur chasers at any time. This machine, which it will remembered is the latest development of the " Hendy 302," has comfortable accommodation for three persons and a performance greater than any other aircraft of its type. It is the first aircraft to use the new Hermes IV engine, and has been flown successfully in many races during the past season. AIRCRAFT FOR HIRE DRIAN, LEWIS & CO., LTD., of 30, *-* Conduit Street, London, W.l, have started a register of machines which will be available for hire when their owners do not require them. This is an admirable idea, which should not only do a great deal towards popu larising flying, but also towards help ing many private owners in the country. All owners of aircraft have been circularised, and if they are will ing to hire their machines out under the scheme, have been asked to fill in a card, which is then put in the regis ter to be kept at the head office of this company. Arrangements are being made for a G.E's. inspection to be carried out either at Hooton or Heston prior to hiring, and if desired insurance rates can be obtained for the owners at short notice. The average hiring charges are approxi mately £3 5s. per day, £10 5s. per week and £40 to £60 per month, but the owners are in no way bound by these charges, and can, of course, make their own arrangements as de sired. Brian, Lewis & Co. propose a charge of 5 per cent., to cover inci dental expenses, on any hire materialis ing through their agency. MORE M.G. RECORDS "THE M.G. " Midget," that fascinat ing little car so much liked by pilots and others who appreciate the value of rapid but economical trans port, added still more to its laurels when Mr. E. R. Hall recently secured the standing, kilometre and mile re cords at Brooklands at speeds of 67.2 m.p.h. and 70.12 m.p.h. respectively. The " Midget " now, therefore, holds all the records in the international class " H " from the standing kilo metre to the one-hour record, and also the two 750 c.c. Brooklands records for the outer circuit and the moun tain course. In view of the interest which is being aroused in small aircraft engines, it is perhaps worth recording the speeds obtained on the track with this little car, bearing in mind that the capacity of the engine is barely 750 c.c. It would certainly be in teresting to see what a supercharged engine of this type when specifically designed for aircra achieve : — 1 km., standing sta 1 km., flying start, ft use could t, 67.20 m.p.h. 118.36 m.p.h. 1 mile, standing start, 74,12 m.p.h. 5 km., flying start, 5 miles, ,, 10 km., 10 miles, 50 km., 50 miles, 100 km., 100 miles, 1 hr., Brooklands records: Class " H," 116.29 m 114.77 m.p.h. 114.74 m.p.h. 114.72 m.p.h. 114.46 m.p.h. 98.7 m.p.h. 99.8 m.p.h. 100.3 m.p.h. 101.09 m.p.h. 101.1 m.p.h.
