14 Advertisements FLIGHT MAY 7TH, 1942 otme <ma4m#4 tm — BATTLE-SCARRED veteran H.M.S. "Victory" was Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar on Oct. 21st. 1805. Launched in 1765, its slow and cumbersome rate of progress made ^ it only suitable for close-quarters fighting. Total weight of the "Victory's" broadside of 52 guns was 1,160 pounds—little more than half the weight of a single discharge from one of our modern 16-in. naval guns. Range was only a few hundred yards. What a contrast with the modern Aircraft Carrier of to-day. TOWARDS NEW ACHIEVEMENTS * Progress in modern warfare is indissolubly linked with co-operation of aircraft. Here the inventive genius of designers has evolved new ways and means of annihilating distance and facilitating long-range operation. Always the impetus furnished by wartime needs is evidenced by epoch-making improvements in which we have been proud to play our pait. In the march of progress, manufacturers alive to the needs of post-war reconstruction are already availing themselves of our unique experience in the design and manufacture of components. If you, too, are able to look ahead, we can offer advice on present and future problems. Why not get in touch with us ? R. B.
