366 FLIGHT. APRIL 6, 1939 THE INDUSTRY Air Minister at Speke S IR KINGSLEY WOOD, Secretary of State for Air, was due to make a visit last Monday afternoon to the aircraft shadow factory at Speke, Liverpool, operated by Rootes Securities, Ltd. Sir Kingsley was to be accompanied by his Parliamentary Private Secretary, Sir Edward Campbell, M.P., and by Maj. B. W. Shilson, Assistant Director of Aircraft Production. New Short Venture THE registration is recorded, on March 28, of a new com pany under the title of Kent Alloys, Ltd. The nominal capital is ^100,000, and the directors are Mr. H. O. Short, Mr. Arthur Gouge and Mr. J. H. Wood. Objects are stated to be " to carry on the business of engineers, founders, smiths, machinists, manufacturers of and dealers in engines and machinery, aeroplanes, seaplanes and aircraft of all kinds, works contractors, etc." The registered office is at 41, Whitehall, London, S.W.i. Test-Pilotage MR. R. LINDSAY-NEALE, of Lindsay-Neale Aviation, Ltd., 4, Park Lane, London, W.i, states that he is now in a position to undertake test, delivery or demonstration flying for manufactuiers or for intending purchasers of air craft. During the past nine years he has flown 1,200 hours on more than 70 types of single and multi-engined machines. Another Works Band FOLLOWING our publication of a photograph of the Eairey Stockport Works band—claimed to be the first aircraft works band—Mr. G. H. Dowty tells us that Aircraft Com ponents, Ltd., have a bard, twenty-three strong, which was founded in March, 1937. Uniforms are green with gold -facings and, to judge from a photograph, the turnout is a thoroughly smart one. Seeking Independence FOR several years R. B. Pullin and Co., Ltd., of Phcunix Works, Great West Road, Brentford, have been dependent on outside sources for certain materials necessary for the pro duction of bearing sights and other types of precision-made instruments in which the company specialises. With the object of overcoming these difficulties a new com pany has been formed, to be known as the Pullin Optical Co., Ltd. The directors are Mr. R. B. Pullin, Mr. P. J. Ellis and Capt. A. Frazer-Nash. A site in Lane End, High Wycombe, covering an area of 20,000 sq. ft., has been selected and the factory, which is nearing completion—it is hoped to start pro duction in June—is designed with an eye to expansion to the extent of four and even five times its original size. It is in tended that the new company shall manufacture every com ponent necessary in the wide range of scientific optical instru ments which will be produced on a large scale. Designed to fit all dia meters, the Beru hose clip, with screw ten- sioner, can be supplied with 5 mm. or 9 mm. ribbons. On the right is the latest Beru avia tion sparking plug, with screened adaptor, made by Beru-Werk Albert Ruprecht, Ludwigsburg, Germany. FOR ACCURACY: Receiving, position and slip gauges—a few of the many types of precision gauge made for the aircraft industry by George H. Alexander Machinery Ltd., Birmingham, 4. The production of these gauges includes inspection by light-projection methods which will detect errors of 0.00001 in.
