22 FLIGHT 22 AUGUST 1952 Photo: Eric Hosking. F.R.P.S is vital with jets . . . MUREX GROUND POWER UNITS have power to spare The sand-martin can make a darting start from his tunnelled nest at will. The starting of a powerful jet aircraft, however, is not quite so simple. Here, a quick and reliable method of starting the engine is essential. Murex ground power units have been specially developed to provide instant starting for all types of air craft engines—piston, turbo-jet and turbo prop. The standard units will supply a peak current of over 1,400 amperes for engine starting periods and a current of 600 amperes continuously at 28 volts for servicing and pre- fiight checks. Other capacities are available. Murex units are engine-driven and thus they eliminate the expense of heavy service accumulators. They are used by B.O.A.C, B.E.A., and other world-famous airlines for the starting of all the latest types of aircraft.

JIGS* FORMERS* MOULDS RUBBER PRESS TOOLS * ETC Between metal and wood comes JICWOOD 'C, a material lighter than duralium yet stronger than any hardwood. Hardness and immense durability are others in a list of virtues that give a very wide range of industrial usefulness to this valuable result of Airscrew-Jicwood specialisation in wood technology. JICWOOD 'C was first developed when no other suitable material could be found able to withstand the high stresses affecting the roots of propeller blades fitted to military aircraft. In this role it has proved its fitness every time — an indication of its actual strength.
