FLIGHT, NOVEMBER 24, 1932 : •••,-: CONDUITE INTERIEURE : The Farman F.355 is a two-seater light plane with " Renault " engine. The F.400 may be described as Farman's version of the " Puss Moth." It is a three-seater cantilever monoplane fitted with the 120-h.p. inverted Renault engine. The axle and radius rod of the undercarriage are faired together as a covered triangle, and the telescopic strut has also a very wide fairing. A very small low-wing cantilever monoplane open two- seater, the type 360 is also shown. It has ply-covered fuselage and wings and looks very pretty painted in dark greei^ cellulose lacquer. The engine is a Salmson 9 AD-R., which is the older engine with propeller reduction gear added. It is rated at 60 b.h.p. Most unusual in its lines is the F.355, which is a low- wing cabin monoplane with " Renault " engine. The cabin top is swept up to form a sort of coupe top, the effect being rather quaint. The passenger straddles the pilot's seat, the back rest of which is very narrow. The larger machine, type F.390, is described as a Grand Tourisme type. It is actually the famous F.190 with a Farman 7-cylinder radial engine of 150-175 b.h.p. The machine has seating accommodation for 4. Hanriot.—The three machines exhibited on the Hanriot (S.G.A.) stand are a type L.H.13 parasol monoplane de signed for initial flying training, and the L.H.130 low- wing cantilever • monoplane which won the Coupe Michelin. This has a 300 h.p. Lorraine " Algol " engine. Kellner-Bechereau.—The complete machine on this stand is a low-wing cabin monoplane with smooth metal-covered wing, but the most interesting exhibit is the metal mono- coque fuselage. M. Bechereau has evolved a form of LIORE 8c OLIVIER : The upper photograph shows the large Leo 30 four-engined bomber, the 4-wheeI undercarriage. Below, the C.L.10 Autogiro. 1109 Note
