FLIGHT, JANUARY 18, 1934 PAPER AERONAUTICS : We hav. previously referred to the excellent flying paper models produced by Mr. W. Rigby, and we now illustrate his latest effort. This is the " Hornet," the parts for which (to be cut out from stiff paper, folded and glued) are to be given away with every issue of the Modern Boy for January 27. The " Hornet " has a span of 12 in. and a length of 9\ in. It has flown a steady course of about 75 yards in two wide circles. A new Skefko service depot IN order to improve existing arrangements in the North for dealing with the increasing demand for S.K.F. Bearings and power transmission accessories, the Skefko Ball Bearing Co., Ltd., of Luton, have opened a new Stocks and Service Depdt at 31, Mosley Street, Newcastle- on-Tyne, 1. Telephone: Newcastle-on-Tyne 23736. Tele- grams : Skefko, .Newcastle. Luxor goggle insurance FOR the third consecutive year Lloyds have given E. B. Meyrowitz, Ltd., an insurance policy in connection with their well-known Luxor goggles, whereby the wearer can claim damages from £1,000 to £5,000 for injury to or loss of an eye while wearing Luxor goggles in flying. In granting this policy, Lloyds are pleased to state that up to this time no claims have been made in connection with this insurance, thereby constituting a wonderful record for Luxor goggles, considering the many thousands in use, especially by officers in the Royal Air Force. British dope for Turkey THE Turkish Government have given an order to Cellon for 42 tons of dope, which is all being shipped out next month. On sick list MAT. T. P. SEARIGHT, Joint Managing Director of H. M. Hobson, Ltd., 47/55, The Vale, Acton, who recently underwent an operation for appendicitis, is making satis- factory progress.
