2 FLIGHT. ADVERTISEMENTS. SEPTEMBER I, 1938. CKAXKCASES WHEELS Extreme Lightness with great strength BECAUSE they are 40% lighter than aluminium — and yet possess ample strength — "Elektron" magnesium alloys enable designers to produce speedier aircraft with increased range and greater carrying capacity for the same horse power. Applications are countless and include:— CRANKCASES Many of the world's most famous engines employ crankcases in "Elektron" magnesium alloys. Two typical examples are the D.H. " Gipsy 12 " and the Napier " Rapie-r." WHEELS 140 lb. is saved in a large Dunlop wheel, by the use of "Elektron" Magnesium Alloys. TAIL FORKS Few parts receive greater stress than tail-wheel carrying forks — an application in which " Elektron" has achieved great success because it combines lightness with strength. FAIRINGS "Elektron" is widely used for fairings owing to its exceptional lightness. A new sheet alloy capable of extensive cold-working is now being produced. The use of "Elektron" would give improved performance to the aircraft and engines you design or produce. Why not write for details ?
