26 FLIGHT. JANUARY 5, 1939 HERE AND THERE (CONTINUED) proved to everyone's entire satisfaction, judging by the cheers, that there was, in fact, no difference at all between Works and Management; all were workers, and if only everyone would approach the problems that arose between them in Shakes peare's "Spirit of Sweet Reasonableness," the atmosphere of good fellowship which G. A. always tried to maintain would persist. Mr. S. J. Noel-Brown (secretary) proceeded to contradict officially some baseless rumours flying around, such as one to the effect that Mr. Gordon England had been appointed Editor of The New Propeller. The lights failed at this point, which gave him an opportunity to invent a few more insidious whisperings to contradict. Sir Maurice Bonham Carter, the chairman of General Air craft (who, incidentally, had a great deal of experience in the quantity production of aircraft during the War, when he was with Lord Weir at the Air Ministry) said nice things about everyone, and was heartily applauded and half-heartily believed. Miss Florence Desmond, with her brilliant impersonations, •was among the artistes at the cabaret show which followed. On a Sound Basis HAVING applied their specialised knowledge gained from airscrew manufacture to the problems of manufacturing industrial ventilating fans, the Airscrew Co., Ltd., of Wey- bridge, now have a special department devoted to this class cf manufacture, and are able to supply air-conditioning, ven tilating and dust- and fume-removing plants to suit all pur poses. Details are given in a new catalogue lecently issued P.S.I.O.WA. Repairs Department AIR Ministry and Air Registration Board approval has, it is stated, been received for the repair shops of Portsmouth, Southsea, and Isle of Wight Aviation, Ltd., at Portsmouth Airport. Accommodation available has recently been doubled and 40 men are employed on complete engine overhauls, C. of A. overhauls, repairs, modifications, sheet-metal work, etc. Mollarts Celebrate M EMBERS of the Mollart Engineering Company and their bnsiness friends met at the "Toby Jug Hotel on the Kingston By-pass on Christmas Eve for their usual Christmas luncheon, and the occasion was its customary success. Proposing the toast of the company, Mr. S: Avron said that he had watched its growth since it was formed eight years ago by two engineers at Thames Ditton. The small partnership of these two expert engineers had now become a large and flourishing company. • Mr. A. J. Mollart (managing director) said that whatever had been said in praise of him was also true of his works director, Mr. J. A. Hendra. Reviewing the year's work, Mr. Mollart said that the company's patent ball-joint was in as great demand as ever—so much so that, in spite of their produc tion facilities, they had their work cut out to cope with orders from abroad. AERO SHOW IN MINIA TURE : An extremely well- arranged civil aviation ex hibition is now open on the "younger men's" floor of Simpsons, the well-known Piccadilly store.
