The British Industries Fair, 1934 FROM February 19 to March 2 the twentieth British Industries Fair will be held at Olympia and White City, London, and at Castle Bromwich, Birmingham. The Fair this year should break all records for size, scope and variety. It is claimed, in fact, that it will be the largest and most comprehensive display of the industrial products of the British Commonwealth of Nations ever brought together at a trade show. At the first Fair in 1915 there were about five miles of stands ; this year there will be fully 32 miles of indoor stands alone. The Birmingham section of the Fair should be of the greatest interest to those connected with aviation, and the following are some of the better known firms who will be exhibiting:—Anglo American Oil Co., Ltd. ; Bakelite, Ltd. ; Britannia Batteries, Ltd. ; British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd. ; Exide & Drydex Batteries ; Joseph Lucas, Ltd. ; Accles & Pollock, Ltd. ; British Oxygen Co. ; Colas Pro- ducts, Ltd. ; Dunlop Rubber Co., Ltd. ; Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd.

Rolls-Royce bonus shares " ^ ^ , THE following is an extract from remarks made by Lord Wargrave, the Chairman of Rolls-Royce, at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on October 16, 1933 : — " A statement appears to have been circulated that Bonus Shares are to be issued. I can only say for your informa- tion that no such intention is in the minds of the Directors, and no such proposal has been considered by them. There are no Bonus Shares, and there is no authority to say that there is likely to be such a distribution." Mr. A. F. Sidgreaves, the Managing Director, has been authorised to confirm this statement, and to add that nothing has occurred in the meantime to alter it. EASY TO HANDLE : By means of this wheelbarrow-pump Adcol lubricating oil is now supplied direct from ten gallon drums at most aerodromes. Here, it is filling up one of Airwork's Avro " Cadets " at Heston. PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED A n Introduction to A eronautical Engineering. Vol. I. Mechanics of Flight.2nd Edition. By A. C. Kermode.
