An exhaustive review of modern British, American, Canadian and European gas turbines is given, and there is much up-to-date information on ramjets, pulsejets, rockets, and the use of the gas turbine for road transport, marine and industrial purposes. 6th Edition. 35s. net. by post 36s. 9d.

Technical Book Review From leading booksellers Published by ILIFFE & SONS LIMITED DORSET HOUSE, STAMFORD STREET, LONDON, S.E.1 AN OIL COOLER FAN IN U2 az so MONTHS The oil cooler fan for the WESTLAND WESSEX rotor gearbox had to have high perform- ance and be of minimum weight and size with a reasonable noise level. A special arrangement was required for belt drive from the tail rotor shaft. In only 3! months it was designed and made —a 12" axial flow unit rated at 2170 cfrn at a Fan Static Pressure of 8" w.g. fitting neatly into the ducting. Airscrew, one of the oldest names in the business, have designed fans for most duties in very many modern British air- craft. When you have a fan problem you'll get faster results if you talk to Airscrew THE AIRSCREW COMPANY & JICWOOD LIMITED - WEVBRIDGE - SURREY TELEPHONE: WEVBRIDGE 2242/7
