Covering a wider field, this section of our special number is supplementary to the preceding pages, where, under the heading "Proprietary Equipment," major aircraft installations at the S.B.A.C. display, Farnborough, such as airscrews and hydraulic systems, are reviewed. Constructors of complete aircraft and engines are listed below, with their addresses j for data on their products the reader is referred to the main reviews on earlier pages of this issue. In the directory columns which follow, ancillary materials and products are reviewed, broadly classified under thirteen main headings. In certain cases, where the work of an individual firm falls under two or more headings, cross-references are made to the section in which the details are given. For firms exhibiting at the S.B.A.C.
