Makers: The General Fire Appliance Co., Ltd., n, Queen Victoria Street, London, E.C.4. SHELL-MEX (Stand 77).—In ad dition to an exhibit showing the Shell Company's touring facilities, on this stand will be seen scale models of the Shell mobile oil Metapump and the T.B. mobile refuelling unit. At many aero dromes the Shell equipment is designed to deliver seventy gallons of fuel a minute, and the company is well known for the way in which it has fostered civil aviation throughout the world. Makers : Shell-Mex and B.P., Ltd., Shell-Mex House, Victoria Embankment, London W.C.2. TECALEMIT (Stand 19).—This ex hibit will consist of various aircraft aux iliaries and fittings, as well as aerodrome equipment. Amongst the former mav be mentioned the oil cleaners which have been standardised on the Bristol Peg asus X engine and for all new Bristol productions. These filters are suitable for all engines having external oil-pipe connections and they will handle up to 400 gallons an hour. Bulk equipment for the filtration of engine lubricating oil is also shown, with engine fuel pumps, one model of which is standard on Pobjoy engines. Pressure lubrication fittings of various types are among the specialised products on view. The new Tecalemit safety refuelling nozzle, which automatically gives a positive cut-off when the tank is full. A new type of bulk petrol filter is manufactured for fitting to aerodrome refuelling equipment, giving complete fil tration and de-aeration of all fuel. An item of interest will be the Tecalemit refuelling nozzle which provides a posi tive cut-off immediately the machine tank is full, and also permits of all inflammable vapour from the tank being filled to return under seal to the bulk storage, thus eliminating losses from evaporation or overfilling, and reducing the fire hazard. A special department of the firm was created in January last to handle aircraft products. Makers: Tecalemit, Ltd., Great West Road, Brentford Middx. THOMPSON BROS. —Outside the A typical mobile refuelling unit made by Thompson Bros. (Bilston) Ltd. entrance this company will show the T.B. mobile refuelling unit, which is power-operated, mounted on three pneu matic wheels, and has front-wheel steer ing. The capacity is 450 gallons, with either single, double or triple compart ments, ana fitted with power pumping, efficient filtering, and an accurate meter. In addition, there is a patent air separat ing device mounted at rear of unit. The engine is of 8 h.p. with a three-speed gear box, a drive to rear wheels and power take-off from the engine to the pump. All the controls are in the cock pit, and the electrical system is thor oughly protected. Each unit has 30ft. of hose and a special discharge cock, and the output for five minutes with 20ft. delivery hose is 100 gallons, and this can be increased. The unit can also be fitted with lubricating oil storage, with com pressed air pumping, giving fifteen gal lons in five minutes against a 20ft. head. A searchlight and a semi-automatic fire extinguishing system can be fitted, and the unit is also arranged for the attach ment of towing gear. Thompson Bros. (Bilston), Ltd., Bilston, Staffs. Fuel and Lubricants SHELL (Stand 77) .—No one needs reminding of the close association of these famous fuels and oils with aviation. Apart from refuelling units (as mentioned under the Aerodrome Equipment Section of this guide), the exhibit will feature Shell service for air tourists, with particular reference to the Carnet system. There will also be a large and striking map showing the routes of notable nights in which Shell has played a part. Refiners : Shell-Mex .and B.P., Ltd., Shell-Mex House, Vic toria Embankment, London, W.C.2. SILVERTOWN LUBRICANTS (Stand 4).—On this stand will be found samples of eero engine oils (including the one at present supplied to the Royal Air Force), low-temperature grease, non- freezing oil, cutting oils, hydraulic oil for machine tools, and anti-rust grease. Supplies of descriptive literature . will also be available. Refiners: Silver- town Lubricants, Ltd., Minoco Wharf, West Silvertown, London, E.16. STERNOL (Stand 31).—The lubri cants shown on this stand will fall under nine headings, as follows:—(1) Aero Sternol D.T.D.109, as used by the Royal Air Force and engine builders: (2) Aero Sternol for high-duty engines; (3) anti- freezing oil D.T.D.44B, for the lubri cation of controls, machine guns, wind mill pumps, watches, etc.; (4) hydrau lic oil for retractable undercarriages ; (5) Protexion anti-rust preventative (D.T.D.121C), a fluid-type rust pre ventative that is suitable for the coating of all finished machined parts'; (6) soluble oils: (a) Hydasol, an entirely new type of soluble oil which is suitable for all machining operations and which gives high dilution ; (b) Sternol D.3084, a competitive grade of soluble oil which, it is stated, gives excellent results where it is necessary only to use a cheaper material; (7) Sternocleanse, a soft anti septic hand-cleanser; (8) straight cut ting oils: (a) Tapoyl 8100, suitable for screwing, tapping and forming, and particularly for the machining of stain less steel and similar difficult materials; (b) Sternol D.4567, a sulphurised straight cutting oil for all automatic operations; (c) Tapoyl 7156, for all hand screwing and tapping operations; (9) Kwenchoyl: (a) For general quench ing ; (b) for the quenching of thin sec tions. Refiners: Sternol, Ltd., Royal London House, Finsbury Square, Lon don, E.C.2. WAKEFIELD (Stand 42).—It was at last year's S.B.A.C. static exhibition at Hendon that Patent Castrol first appeared at a display devoted to the in terests of the aircraft industry. At that time the incorporation of patent soluble metallic inhibitors in oil represented a new way of tackling the sludge and corrosion problems of aero engine opera tion. Before it was generally marketed, state the makers, Patent Castrol was thoroughly tested—in Sir Alan Cobham's air circus (over 3,600 hours' flying), and under other equally exacting service conditions. Since then, as is well known, it has figured in the principal aeroplane records and endurance trials of the past year, such as the Cape flights oy Mrs Mollison, Fit. Lt. Rose and F/O. Llewelyn. On the stand at Hat field there will be displayed all the grades of Patent Castrol for use in aero engines, and Castrol experts will be com. stantly in attendance to give sugges tions and advice. Refiners: . C. C. Wakefield and Co., Ltd., Wakefield House, Cheapside, London, E.C.2. VACUUM (Stand 47).—This well- known concern will be showing Aero Mobiloil and other products for the B55
