14 May 1954 627 ENGINE OVERHAUL -in Canada: Bristols' Well-equipped Plant '"PHE new Montreal North plant of Bristol Aeroplane Engines * (Eastern), Ltd., shown here, went into operation in July last year. With a floor area of some 160,000 sq ft and a fine test- house, it employs 850 people. They are principally concerned with overhaul work on a variety of engines, including Merlins for the R.C.A.F. and Trans-Canada Air Lines, various Pratt and Whitney radials and, of course, Bristols' own Hercules and Centaurus. Two aspects of the main engine shops are seen below, and the other pictures include views of the impressive entrance- hall, one of the carburettor test-rigs, and the sheet-metal shop, where engine cowlings and panels are repaired. On the other side of Canada, Bristol Aeroplane Engines (Western), Ltd., handle overhaul work at Vancouver, B.C., International Airport. ~ i . j m i i i #--~T rF^-% • Hn • MMOnr^ffi --•• 1 ? kM 5~ L : •:»• % Fll i i
