NOVEMBER 2ND, 1944 FLIGHT Advertisements. B UT WE KNOW BETTER td (^*^) a-xic^g^sh ALL through the centuries men have sought the secret of perpetual motion. No one has ever found it—or ever will, for " there ain't no sich thing." We don't waste our time or effort trying to achieve ' miracles.' (Though our Production Manager claims he is performing them every week !) But every single Simmonds product does something better than it has been done before. The Fram Oil Cleaner for instance. Fram keeps engine oil cleaner than it has ever been kept. But we don't claim that Fram keeps oil clean and usable for ever. In short, not perfection, but a mighty useful step forward. PERPETUAL MOTION WHEEL. " To provide and make that all the weights of the descending side of a wheel shall be perpetually further from the centre than those of the mounting side, and yet equal in number and heft to one side as the other. A most incredible thing, if not seen but tried before the late king (of blessed memory) in the Tower, by my directions, two Extraordinary Embas- saders accompanying His Majesty, and the Duke of Richmond, and Duke Hamilton with most of the Court, attending him. The wheel was 14 Foot over, and 40 Weights of 5o pounds apiece. Sir William Balfore, then Lieutenant of the Tower, can justify it, with several others. They all saw that no sooner these great weights passed the diameter-line of the lower side, but they hung a foot further from the Centre, nor no sooner passed the diameter-line of the upper side but they hung a foot nearer. Be pleased to judge the Consequence." AlarqueM of WorcuUr (area 1638-9). r,,£2'M't!?$§, ., Finding new and Better ways. Simmonds Aerocessories Limited, Great West Road, London.
