Pomeroy, late man aging director of the Daimler Company, has joined the De Havilland Aircraft Co., Ltd., in the position of general man ager, engine division. Mr. Pomeroy has had extensive experi ence'of automotive engineering in America and in this country, and his taking charge of the D.H. engine division, in collabora tion with Major Halford, is an indication of the intensive manner in which the Hatfield concern is developing its engine business.

Those wishing to take part are requested to communicate with the Secretary, Royal Aero Club, 119, Piccadilly, London, W.i, as early as possible. Things to Come A PERUSAL of lists of new companies formed discloses the interesting fact that Folland Aircraft, Limited, was registered as a private- company on June 29, with a nominal capital of £100 in 5s shares. The first directors are not named, but the title of the new company suggests some con nection with a famous aircraft designer. When plans have progressed a little farther. Flight will have something of in terest to announce. Solicitors to the new company are Clifford-Turner and Co., of 11, Old Jewry, London, E.C.2. Blackburn Progress AT the statutory meeting of Blackburn Aircraft, Ltd., held last week at Brough, Mr. Robert Blackburn said that during the last lew months the company has reaped the benefit of two or three years' intensive development programme in that they have succeeded in competition in having three ad ditional types accepted by the Air Ministry for which it was indicated "they would shortly receive large production orders. Another point which had caused him great satisfaction is the fact that they are receiving a contract for a new type of flying- boat. The result was that the company now had not only sufficient orders on hand to keep the whole of its plant fully occupied for the next three years, but had found it necessary to sub-con tract out a large volume of the work to another firm.

The Schlesinger Formula FEW readers who studied the Johannesburg Race formula given on page 17 of Jast week's issue can have been puzzled for long by a small error which occurred ; the symbol "A" was given as "4," though the correct statement must have been obvious from the list of symbols given below the formula, which should read as follows : wherein L=Pay load in lb. W = All-up weight in lb. of aircraft complete with petrol, oil, personnel and freight ready for race. P = Total horse-power of the engine(s) at normal r.p.m. at rated height—based on the power of the prototype engine at the corre sponding r.p.m. and height.
