Flight, January 24th, 1946. Advt. This useful Blackburn aircraft is equipped with Lockheed hydraulic undercarriage and retracting gear. In addition, the flaps and dive brakes, the torpedo beam gear, the undercarriage and tail wheel struts with their doors, and certain engine services, are all controlled by the Lockheed high-pressure hydraulic installation. The components are neatly grouped and an accumulator is used to store energy for emergency operations and to provide rapid retraction of the undercarriage, which is effected in two seconds, including closing the doors. The whole of this comprehensive hydraulic system, complete with pipings and clips, is less than 1% of the all-in weight and the installation has been specially commended officially for its accessibility. - AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS COMPANY LTD., LEAMINGTON SPA (HIGH PRECISIONMHYDRAULlCSlag)
