39 JUNE 1950 FLIGHT COCKPIT CONTROLS INJECTION CARBURETTERS For maximum reliability and fuel economy, the Bristol Hercules engines of Britain's largest freighter aircraft are equipped with HOBSON Injection Carburetters. Control of engine power and r.p.m. is also provided by dual HOBSON Cockpit Controls. These latter units allow for the additional control of the braking propellers through aft movement of the pilot's throttle levers from the fully-closed positions, and automatically safeguard against engine stall during propeller reversal, engine overspeed during the propeller zero pitch range, and swing of aircraft when applying propeller braking. The Blackburn & General Aircraft Company is yet another leading manu- facturer to rely on HOBSON experience, knowledge and traditions of quality. Hobson CARBURETTERS COCKPIT CONTROLS H. M. HOBSON LTD., FORDHOUSES, WOLVERHAMPTON. Licensees in U.S.A. and Canada: Simmonds Accessories Inc.
