Gordon-Marshall has joined Whitney Straight, Ltd., as sales manager in charge of the distribution of the Miles Whitney Straight aeroplane. Aircraft Components' Progress AT the statutory meeting of Aircraft Components, Ltd., held last week in London, it was stated that extensions had been made to the works and output had been more than doubled.

High and Dry COMMENTING on "Indicator's" recent remarks on the subject of leaky cabin windows, the makers of " Bostik " adhesive and sealing compound quote a report from Aero Re search, Ltd., of Duxford, on a machine which, thus equipped, was flown round Belgium, Holland and Germany. The machine '' met some severe thunder and rainstorms; never theless, the cabin remained snug and dry, and no water leaked round the edges of the safety glass as it had previously." The Bristol Organisation AT the first annual general meeting held by the Bristol Aeroplane Co., Ltd., since it has become a public com pany it was reported that the works, both aircraft and engine, had been engaged up to capacity throughout the year. The chairman, Mr. W. G. Verdon Smith, said that the company had now succeeded in providing an organisation in which were combined factories for the construction of aircraft and of aero plane engines; an aerodrome at Filton fully equipped for the testing of machines and the training of pilots; and, in addition, the new flying school at Yatesbury. Reference was also made to the satisfactory bench and flying tests which have been accomplished with Bristol sleeve-valve engines; it was anticipated that the engine would be ready for production in the near future.

The board recommended that this sum be appropriated to the payment of a final dividend on the ordinary shares of 15 per cent, (making a total distribution to the ordinary shareholders of 22J per cent, for the year) and that the remaining balance of £40,232 be carried forward to the credit of the next account.
