Magnesium Elektron Ltd, Lumn's Lane, Clifton Junction, Swinton, Manchester, Eng land. Stand C.J80. This company is showing examples of the use of magnesium in aircraft, aero-engines and spacecraft. The most interesting exhibit is the Mercury tape recorder used by Col Glenn on his historic flight. This is being loaned from America and is composed almost entirely of magnesium alloys, mainly because of their light weight and rigidity. La society prisente des exemples de Vutilisa tion du magnesium dans les avions, moteurs et vihicules spatiaux. D'un intiret particulier est Venregistreur utilise par le Col Glenn a bord du vehicule Mercury. Venregistreur est construit presque entierement en alliage de magnesium. Magnesium Industriel, 6 Rue de la Victoire, Le Blanc Mesnil, France. Stand C.178. Sand- and shell-castings in magnesium alloy. Pieces de fonderie moulies au sable et en coquille en alliages de magnisium; alliages magnisium. Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Co Ltd, Marconi House, Chelmsford, Essex, England. Stand C.30. Exhibited is a full range of products designed for aeronautical use, both on the ground and in the air. The display highlights the very successful Sixty Series of airline radio equip ment which is now winning orders throughout the world. Another important Marconi development accorded a prominent place on the stand is the new "daylight radar display," recently evalu ated successfully by the British Ministry of Aviation. A separate display demonstrates the latest advances in radar data displays, empha sizing the contribution that inter-trace identi fication marks on the normal radar picture, coupled with alpha-numeric data displays and ultimately with computers, will make to simpler air traffic control and greater safety in the air. Closed-circuit television is displayed, and its various applications, both airborne and ground-based, are illustrated by photographs and by a display of slides showing different aspects of television in aviation. This display is supported by a commentary in four langu ages. La sociite expose ses equipements ilectro- niques pour usage tant au sol qu'en fair. On remarque les pastes VHF de navigation et de communication de la nouvelle gamme Sixty Series; le cadran radar a haute luminosite, utilisable a la lumiire du jour, ricemment essay e par le Ministry of Aviation; le dispositif d'exploitation des informations radar compre- nant les dernieres realisations dans I'affichage inter-trace, de presentation a"informations alpha-numiriques et a"utilisation des calcula- teurs pour le controle de la circulation airienne; television industrielle pour application au sol et en Fair.

Stand A.28. Prominently featured on the Martin stand is the Pegasus multi-purpose space booster—a fully guided vehicle capable of lifting a variety of payload weights to altitudes of 100-3,000 nautical miles. Such a vehicle would provide a medium for component and sub-system test ing; high-altitude probes; zero g, vacuum and acceleration testing; photo or flare mapping; reconnaissance; surveillance; and re-entry testing of materials, components and sub systems. Also displayed is a SNAP nuclear auxiliary generator, which is the power source for the US Navy's Transit navigational satellite systems, and RACEP, a versatile radio-tele phone communications system. Other items are test and training equipment for aircraft and missile check-out, marine distance-measuring equipment, and a transponder buoy, which is an anti-submarine detection system. McDonnell F-4C Phantom 11 858 FLIGHT International, 6 June 1963 Martin expose son engin porteur Pegasus a missions multiples, capable de lancer divers charges a des altitudes entre 160 et 5,500km pour des essais varies. Le ginirateur a inergie nucl&aire SNAP, utilise' a bord du satellite Transit, et RACEP, riseau de communication radio-tilephonique, sont accompagnes par des systimes ilectroniques de verification et d'entrainement et de dispositifs de lutte anti- sousmarine. S.A. Engins Matra, 49 Rue de Lisbonne, Paris 8e, France. Stand A.6 and external. Most important product of this company is the R.530 collision-course air-to-air guided weapon, now coming into production for the French Air Force (for use by Mirage III squadrons) and customers outside France. On view are both versions of this missile, one with a semi-active radar homing head by GAM Dassault and the other with an infra-red homing head by SAT; other R.530 contri butors include CSF, TRT and Brandt. The earlier R.511 air-to-air missile, with semi- active radar guidance, is in use by the French Air Force (Vautour) and Navy (Aquilon). Matra have also developed more than 40 types of launcher for unguided rockets of several calibres and nationalities. These launchers, of which at least 15 types are displayed, include designs for light aircraft and helicopters as well as others suitable for external carriage at Mach 2; and several models make provision for the accommodation of fuel, as well as rockets. One type of launcher on view is a seven-tube pattern adopted as standard for Royal Navy helicopters, and to be manu factured by Matra's British licensee, Thomas French & Sons Ltd. Also featured at the Salon are the GAP- Matra M-360 Jupiter "push-pull" 4/5 seat light aircraft designed by Moynet, and such diverse products as infra-red early warning systems, automatic checkout equipment (of de Havil- land design) and electromagnetic clutches and brakes. La realisation la plus importante de cette sociiti est le missile air-air R.530 qui est maintenant lance en sirie pour les escadres de Mirage III de Varmee de Vair francaise et pour les armies itrangeres. Les deux versions de ces missiles sont presentees, I'une avec tete cher- cheuse radar, itudiie par Dassault, et Vautre a infra-rouges, itudiie par la SAT.
