454 FLIGHT. MAY 4, 1939 two mountings, back to back, and all the engine equipment which goes in the mounting unit is installed there." The undercarriages are also assembled on these jigs, pits in the concrete floor of the shop permitting of the under carriage being fully extended for test. One feature of the Handley Page works system which deserves mention is that nowhere does one see a blue print. Presumably they were used when production first started, but by now the men have become so accus tomed to the work that they do not need drawings to guide them. This obviously saves a "good deal of time. The type of production adopted at Cricklewood could equally well be introduced elsewhere. For example, there does not appear to be any reason why, if Hampdens are wanted in larger quantities than the parent firm can produce, the great shipbuilding con cerns should not undertake the work. Handley Page, Ltd., have had to train a large percentage of their workers, and the shipbuilding firms could do the same. Already something of the sort is taking place in that the Eng lish Electric Company, Ltd., by arrangement with Handley Page, Ltd., and the Air Ministry, is build ing the Hampden at Preston. In Canada the machine is to be built by the Canadian Central Aircraft Cor poration. SOME CONTRIBUTORS to the HAMPDEN'S CONSTRUCTION Accles and Pollock, Ltd.: Steel tubes.
