SIXTY OF THEM IN SERVICE: A striking night photograph of one of the United Air Lines' new three-mile-a-minute Boeing 247 transports, halting briefly at Salt Lake City in the course of a Coast-to-Coast flight of less than 20 hours. All 60 of the new Boeings ordered by United, now are in regular service on the company's Coast-to-Coast, Pacific Coast, and other routes.

This photograph show the essential features of the Autogiro C.30 P. The front view shows how the Townend ring, round the 7-cylinder "Genet Major" engine, cleans up the design and accounts, no doubt, very largely for the increased performance of this type.

FOR EGYPT: This Avro 626 (Armstrong-Siddeley "Cheetah") is one of the batch of machines which have been sold through Airwork, Ltd., to the Egyptian Government for training and general reconnaissance work in Egypt. They are being taken over by Government representatives at Lympne Aerodrome shortly, where a number of Egyptian officers are undergoing training.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION: Rotatable trestles are used by A. V. Roe's for fuselage erection. It will be seen that the front end of this 637 fuselage is so held that it can be moved about or turned, thus making the job of erection very simple.

AN ECONOMICAL PROPOSITION: The Avro 637 can be used for a variety of purposes, and is especially suitable for patrol and reconnaissance duties.

FOR BOMBING: For punitive purposes the 637 can carry this load of light bombs. The Armstrong-Siddeley "Cheetah" engine, although giving 260 h.p., looks small and neat when cowled with a Townend Ring.

THE "CODOCK": In our issue of September 14 we published a side elevation of the machine designed by Wing Com. Wackett for Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith. This photograph of a scale model gives an even better idea of the "Codock." The engines are two Napier "Javelins" and the machine will have a wing span of 52 ft., a tare weight of 2,620 lb., and a gross weight of 4,500 lb. There will be seating accommodation for six passengers, and the range with full load is calculated to be about 500 miles.

A HIGH-SPEED AMPHIBIAN: An interesting machine designed by Maj. A. Seversky and constructed in New York. The twin duralumin floats contain retractable wheels and when the latter are extended the stern of each float is raised. With a 420-h.p. Wright "Whirlwind" it has an estimated speed of 190 m.p.h. as amphibian or 235 m.p.h. as landplane only. With supercharged 700-h.p. "Cyclone" a speed of 245 m.p.h. is expected as amphibian, or 290 m.p.h. as landplane.

"ROTARY AILERONS": This machine, the Pickering-Pearson, is intended to obtain its directional as well as lateral control by the Pearson ailerons. These, it may be remembered, were also fitted on the Glenny & Henderson "Gadfly" some years ago. We obtained these photographs some time ago but, in accordance with the request ot the makers of the machine, refrained from publishing them. As photographs have been published elsewhere in the meantime, we feel at liberty to show our readers what the machine looks like. We might point out that at least a fin is to be added, if not an orthodox rudder.
