FLIGHT, AUGUST 17, 1933 BRIEFLY Mr. F. R. Walker, who met with an unfortunate acci dent in the King's Cup Race, has now so far recovered that he took his first walk out of doors on Monday last. Characteristically he spent the following day at Heston and expressed his desire to start flying again. Capt. C. W. Snook, of Air Taxis, Ltd., Western Aus tralia, who has been on a visit to this country finding suitable equipment for Australian flying enterprises, left for Perth by sea on August 19. British Salmson Aero Engines, Ltd., of Raynes Park, are adding motor-cars to the productions of their factory. The first type will be a 12-h.p. four-cylinder job which is an improvement on the existing and somewhat smaller French-built car. It will be produced with three different bodies ; a four-door saloon, a two-door coupe, and an open sports tourer. Its 1,500-c.c. O.H.V. engine is said to give it very fine performance indeed. Mr. Hubert Scott Paine left Southampton with his racing motor boat, Miss Britain III (Napier " Lion " engine), in the Empress of Britain on Sunday, August 13. Exide Batteries, type 5/XCM/9, manufactured in Italy by Magneti Marelli, were used by all the seaplanes of the flight which, under command of Signor Balbo, recently flew to America and back from Rome. A. Arnold & Co., of 122, St. John Street, London, E.C.I, are now marketing a stop watch which should be very suitable for those who want to time air races. It reads to one-fifth of a second, and only costs 10s. 6d. Wild-Barfield Electric Furnaces, Ltd., and G.W.B. Electric Furnaces will be shown at the Shipping, Engineer ing and Machinery Exhibition being held at Olympia in September. " Aluminising," a process of spraying aluminium patented by Metallisation, Ltd., of Pear Tree Lane, Dud ley, is being used for preventing the corrosion of exhaust pipes on aircraft. The method is fully described in a booklet which can be obtained from the company by those who write mentioning FLIGHT. Scintilla magnetos were used by Codos and Rossi in their recent record breaking flight. Throughout the whole of the 6,630 miles the ignition installation of their Hispano- Suiza engine functioned perfectly. Gen. Julio Valle, the Chief of the Italian Naval Air Staff, was seriously injured when his seaplane crashed into the' sea near Valencia. He and six other occupants of the machine were taken to hospital. Five American naval airmen were killed in a crash in Honolulu on Wednesday, August 9. " BRISTOLIANS " KEEP COOL : Sir G. Stanley White, Bart., Managing Director of the Bristol Aeroplane Co., Ltd., and Mr. A. H. R. Fedden, the designer of the famous Bristol engines, at a recent motor-boat race on the Avon. Sir Stanley's son was competing for the Roy Fedden Trophy, and finished second. Flying in South-West India STEPS are being taken to improve the landing ground at Quilon (in the Indian State of Travancore, on the Malabar coast of South India), and the question of officially declar ing it fit for landing of aeroplanes is under consideration of the State Government. F/O. Mason, of the Madras Flying Club, is on a visit to Quilon in this connection, and he and the Chief Engineer, Mr. Westerdale, are inspecting the landing ground. Mr. Mason will also visit Trivandrum, the capital of the State, and it is likely that he will inspect suitable sites for landing grounds. as » m m IMPORTS AND EXPORTS AEROPLANES, airships, balloons and parts thereof (not shown separately before 1910).
