Mounted on standard TK. tdford chassis, they are used to move freight eween aircraft and transit sheds. Lockable jller shutters at both ends of the reversible antainers ensure security of the contents and ilso allow access through lined-up containers praymat for the F104S English Elec- ic Spraymat ice protection has been sleeted for the F104S Super Starfighter eing manufactured by Fiat in Italy, refabricated Spraymat heaters for the ngine air intake scoops will be manu- actured at English Electric's Luton forks and Spraymat directly applied to ther intake components sent from Italy. lie order for the F104S was placed with nglish Electric's Special Products Group SIAI-Marchetti of Sesto Calende Varese), Italy, who are co-producers ith Fiat. Deliveries from Luton of Spraymat omponents for the Concorde are now in rogress. In this, the most advanced pplication of the Spraymat system, it I provide mainplane and engine intake rotection. liniature 10A Relay An hermetically ealed miniature 10A relay, which it is laimed can operate over a temperature ange of 190cC (minus 65° to plus 25°C) and can withstand shocks of up 50g and lasting for 11 milliseconds, as been produced by Elliott-Automa- on's Aircraft Relay Division. The new relay, the Type XA, is a vo-pole change-over device which leasures approximately lin x lin xO.5in. is capable of switching a 10A cur-:nt and meets the requirements of >EF.5165 and BS2G100. The contacts gold-plated to give consistently low contact-resistance at low levels with no decrease in reliability under full contact load. Sensitivity is about 500mW and "operate" and "release" times are nominally 7ms. Allison Agents The Allison Division of General Motors has appointed three general-aviation service organisations to provide commercial service support for the Model 250 turboshaft helicopter. Airwork Corporation of Millville, NJ, has been chosen for the eastern United States and for Latin America. Serving the Midwest will be Southwest Airmotive of Dallas, Texas. The far-western states, including Alaska and Hawaii, will be covered by Aviation Power Supply Inc, of Burbank, California. IN BRIEF The Garrett Corporation's AiResearch Manufacturing Division, Los Angeles, has been selected to develop a lightweight central air data computer for the Fiat G91Y attack and reconnaissance air- craft. The contract calls for AiResearch to deliver first prototype units this month. Subsequent units will be pro- duced by Microtecnica, a Garrett licensee in Turin, Italy. A new micro-oscillator. Type F3185, has been developed by Marconi. Com- pletely sealed inside a tiny transistor can, this unit is by far the smallest in the Marconi range of solid state, packaged oscillators, which provide design engineers with a comprehensive selection of low- cost "ready to use" oscillators for a wide variety of tasks. Electro-Hydraulics Ltd, Warrington, Lanes, have received what is said to be the largest single order for automatic door controls placed in the UK. Sixty sets of automatic door controls, costing £31,000, have been ordered to operate bi-parting sliding doors in the new North- East passenger terminal at present under construction at Heathrow Airport. PEOPLE AND POSTS Mr Ivan Stewart has joined Rocket Research Corporation as a design engineer; he will be associated with the design of monopropellant hydrazine rocket engines. Airmed Ltd of Harlow recently an- nounced the appointment of Mr John P. Lamont as marketing manager for their aircraft products and medical divisions. Mr George H. Doust, director of The Plessey Company's Australia Group, is returning to the UK to take up the post of director of the Plessey Components Group. Mr Geoffrey P. Adamson has been made general manager of The Plessey Company of Canada. =ONTRACTS: THE CBI VIEW continued from page 661) only SBAC and EEA among trade association members wished to put up a case in detail: they briefed a leading accountant to prepare and present their respective submissions and pro- posals. Because of the considerable importance of this review to many other industries, the CBI has taken a close interest in developments (through the chairman of the Public Purchasing Policy Committee) and is meeting one-quarter of the accoun- tant's fees and charges. Documents were sent to the Treasury at the end of December, and preliminary discussions have begun. Future Developments There is essentially a connection between the three sets of negotiations between Government and industry—on overheads, contract conditions, and the profit formula—but the stage has not been reached at which the several negotiations should be formally co-ordinated. Indeed, the Government view is and always has been that the contract conditions and profit formula revisions must be dealt with as wholly separate matters.
