Adjust the head sails in a similar way, but do not make the angle quite so great. Hold the boat for a moment until the sails fill with wind, then gently release her and she will sail away nicely. This is known as Reaching or sailing across the wind, as the boat should sail about at right angles to the direction of the wind. To make the boat go more towards the wind—k nown as Beating or going to windward, haul the mainsail in towards the centre line of the ship, and slightly haul in the head sails, as shown in the second illustration. Start the boat from the same point on the pond side, and note the different course she takes. If she comes up into the wind and turns first one way and then the other, slightly slacken the mainsail. To make the boat sail in the opposite direction— as Running—slacken the mainsail right out, and let it project at right angles to the centre line of the boat and also slacken the head sails, as shown below. known These are t Starting the boat from the point it reached on the pond side when beating to windward, she will—when so adjusted—run before the wind and probably travel the length of the pond.

Clyde Craft Yachts are miniature racing Yachts of special design and high quality. Every hull is built up, and is accurately hand-finished to template, the sides and bottom being reduced to the least possible thickness consistent with strength to ensure the necessary lightness and buoyancy. The skeg and fin are shaped to template, and the keel, a die-casting of special lead alloy, joins the skeg in perfect streamline. The sails are made specially of Union silk, and are designed to give the greatest possible efficiency, in accordance with the principles established by recent aero-dynamic research. All mainsails are battened. Conforming with prevailing fashion, all Clyde Craft Yachts are Bermuda rigged. All standing and running rigging is adjustable by means of bowsies. Clyde Craft Yachts are made in Scotland by British craftsmen, and all the materials used are of British manufacture. PRICES 18 in. L.O.A.

For con- known ‘‘Yarmouth Beach Yawls’’ the sails are loose fitted, craft as the well and the main lug sail is spread by a boomkin from the stern. The Penzance luggers adopt a similar scheme in more pronounced form and often carry a small very short bowsprit. Still other examples of this versatile rig are the Naval Sailing Cutters, and the Sardine Fishing Luggers to be seen off the coasts of Southern France. For practical sailing purposes the model has many features of interest, the lines are double ended as graceful as a racing curve and notably fast; in fact for many years, this has been a notable prototype for fast models raced at various East Coast resorts. To ensure sufficient stiff- ness and ability to stand up to a stiff breeze, the model has a deep raking keel and long deep rudder—redolent of the best Yorkshire practice and conducive to a steady and reliable performance. Rapidity and ease of handling and adjustment are provided on the model by means of large easily handled bowsies, also shroud hooks and eyes of adequate size.

They enjoy remarkable popularity, and are very handsome in appearance. The model is as faithful in its general dimensions, deck fittings, etc., as is possibie in an actual working steam model at the price. The design and general arrangements of the lamp, boiler, and engine are the result of exhaustive experiments and trials carried out in conjunction with Mr. Victor Harrison (a prize-winner at the Model Engineer Exhibition), and extending over a period of twelve months. We have no hesitation in recommending this as a very reliable working model warship; easy to handle and of sound construction throughout. SPECIFICATION Hull. Carved from selected well-seasoned pine in layers, all joints being securely screwed and cemented. A separate outer lead keel is fitted giving the boat great stability and steering qualities. Decks. Are of pine, and the principal deck fittings are provided, at the same time eliminating more frail and smaller details which are useless on an actual steam working model. . Machinery. This is a departure from the usual idea of steam-boats, and is designed to make the boat as simple and reliable as possible. Engine. Double action high speed marine engine, ‘‘Meteor.’’ Fitted with displacement lubricator. Boiler. Copper, brazed throughout. Contained in a steel boiler casing of special design. This casing has the inner funnels securely attached to it and provides a space between them and the outer funnels, ensuring the latter do not get hot and burn the paint. Exhaust is carried into both funnels. The boiler is fitted with safety-valve. pressure gauge ,and “‘Wheel’’ type steam stop-valve. The steam-pipe is carried through the boiler casing to ensure dry steam to the engine. Spirit Lamp. Entirely new design and quite separate from spirit reservoir, and is so arranged that it contains only a small quantity of spirit at any one time. The actual spirit reservoir is fixed at some distance from the boiler and is sealed so as to avoid risk of fire. The spirit is fed automatically to the lamp as long as this is alight, but when the lamp is extinguished, the supply of spirit immediately ceases. This automatic action is secured in a simple way and is free from complications. The burner is fitted with an asbestos wick and in use never need be taken out of the boat. The spirit reservoir is lifted out of the boat for refilling and so arranged that it cannot be overfilled. j Finish.

For all ordinary medium pressure boilers. THis engine is an entirely new design in which the whole of the motion is inside the crankcase, and in which all glands subjected to steam pressure are eliminated. The engine cylinders and casingare in an aluminium alloy of the same mixture as used for aircraft engine pistons, and to get over expansion diffi- culties the cylinders are fitted with a liner forced into the casing. opposed pistons and the slide valve works horizontally at the side ; The cylinders are single acting with one valve operating the two cylinders. This arrangement reduces the total height of the engine to the minimum without sacrificing power by a reduction in the stroke of the pistons. The valve gear is operated by a spiral groove milled out of the solid crankshaft and drives the valve from its exhaust cavity. The valve spindle is thereby relieved of live steam pressure. The exhaust pipe emerges at the top between the two cylinders and the live steam fitting is at the side on the steam chest. N.B.—This engine is not intended for flash steam.

Many attempts have been made from time to time to devise the perfect Boiler for Model Boat work, and for all-round use it is without doubt true that our Single-Flue Launch Boilers most nearly approach the ideal. | For special purposes, of course, other boilers have their advantages, but our Single-Flue Launch Boilers provide a tea sonable range of water capacity, excellent heating surface arranged in the most beneficial manner, a low centre of bra vity, while the whole weight of the Boiler is utilized to the best advantage, no weight being wasted with asbestos- ined casings as the flame of the burner being entirely surrounded by water any exterior casing is unnecessary. The Boilers are constructed throughout of Seamless Copper Tubing with gun-metal ends. The cross water tubes in the firebox are of seamless Copper and all joints are brazed. The Boilers are made throughout at our Northampton Works and each one is tested before dispatch.

The terminals embody the original Exide features of non-interchangeability combined with dissimilarity of colour and shape. For general purposes including model power boat work they are unsurpassed, and they possess the advantage of being as light as efficient construction will allow them to be. Overall dimensions have been kept as small as possible in view of the fact that the average boat model does not allow very much space when the power unit has been fitted. The sizes given below do not comprise the full range, but we have picked out the capacities and voltages mostly in demand. Increased voltage or amperage can always be obtained by coupling up two or more batteries in series or parallel, as circumstances may demand. All batteries are sent out unfilled and not charged. Amp.

London and Northampton, Clipper Ship “Cutty Sark.” WV veanty” have been written around the beauty and romance of Sailing Ships of bygone days. The fast Clipper Ships built mainly for the tea trade always excited attention, and among the last of these Cutty Sark is perhaps the most famous. If further proof of the charm of the “ billowing canvas” were necessary, it is undoubtedly provided in the unfailing popularity of Sailing Ship Models. Prompted by numerous inquiries we have at length produced a set of finished parts to enable ship lovers and others to construct for themselves a model of the famous tea clipper. The parts are well made and finished in wood and metal, and are painted or electro-plated just like those used in Exhibition Models of the highest quality which we make for the great Shipping Companies. The scale we have chosen allows the building of a model large enough to create the proper “atmosphere ” without becoming too cumbersome to be accommodated in an apartment of ordinary dimensions.

SEEING IS BELIEVING “*In small proportions we just beauties see, And in small measures life may perfect be.”’ JOHNSON. tbs mighty engineering feats of to-day are rather breath-taking, and it is quite beyond the power of words to describe them adequately. Trains run at over 100 miles an hour, the racing cars of Malcolm Campbell and Eyston reach speeds of over 300 m.p.h., while in the air speeds of well over 400 m.p.h. can be attained. In June 1935 the turbo-electric liner ‘‘NORMANDIE”’ broke all records across the Atlantic by travelling eastward from America to Europe at an average speed of 30.31 knots, and shortly afterwards that triumph of British engineering the “QUEEN MARY”’ made a crossing at the average east-bound speed of 30.63 knots and in less than 4 days, The ‘“‘“NORMANDIE”’ has since beaten this, and we now await the entry into service of the new ‘‘QUEEN ELIZABETH”’ to challenge anew for the Blue Riband. Think of the gigantic Sydney Bridge, with its enormous single span over nearly a mile of water—if we could only ride on that wonder of wonders, the ‘‘Magic Carpet’’ and see all these marvels of science for ourselves, we could then gain a much clearer and more UMN vivid idea of the immensity of what has been achieved in modern times. Hi Fortunately, it is possible in these days to construct a model, or miniature of a ‘‘crack’’ mT zie bh La =< IN liner, locomotive, aeroplane, motor-car, or indeed, any engineering work whatsoever in such a way that we may not only see the actual work but fully understand it. ae (tite ii be sistem litiiels LUNJON~NORKTAHAMPTON-MANCHESTE K-EDINKURKGH zlzeelelelelalela = Ele ISIeIEIE e/a ll mmeanacx====[[' ——_—_—__ ed ———_——— ————— ee S____=_==== SSSSSeSeSSSS— ee ————— oa SS ih il Il HUT I Ht TM HN ll ll tl TT Hil till an ; Tl TUT = CEE : — MODEL OF TRAINING SHIP “J, SEBASTIAN DE ELCANO” Built to the male ce ee & Nichaloons Ltd. : UUN~NOURKTHAMVTON-MANCHESTER-EDINKURGH Ht Ll WHT] i _——4 —} —— a | =l= SIE lEIEIEIZIEIE IIE ISIE IEIEIEIIEIEIEFEL| AN ll HI Hl HHT TM IRRESISTIBLE APPEAL The models built by Bassett-Lowke, Ltd., at their Northampton works are so correct to the minutest detail that they reproduce the character, the individuality, the “‘ atmosphere ’”’ and the very romance of the original. They live in the mind, whereas dull figures or even pictures are quickly forgotten. Their appeal to the eye and to the mind is irresistible. None can pass them by. Children glue their faces to the window to inspect them further. Grown-ups with an eye for detail admire the sweep of hull, broad expanse of wing, or delicate mechanism in the particular model which has captured their fancy. At great exhibitions, on railway stations, in the windows of steamship companies, and other places, tens of thousands have lingered beside these masterpieces MODEL SHIPBUILDING IN THE CENTRE OF ENGLAND.

Bassett-Lowke have made models for some of the biggest concerns in the country—firms with time-honoured names—big shipping companies, railways, aeroplane and engineering firms both large and small who take the utmost pride Wa in their products. The British Admiralty has placed the final seal of approval on the genius of Messrs. Bassett-Lowke by entrusting to the firm models of some of Britain’s mightiest battleships and other craft. il ll ll and more directors of companies are proving to their satisfaction. mn Needless to say, a Bassett-Lowke model is a wonderful ‘‘ salesman,’’ as more In many cases the *‘ salesman ”’ has been packed in a suit-case, to travel the country and demonstrate some technical point of superiority.

By the same reason- ing it is not difficult to understand how the firm of Bassett-Lowke has brought to a very high standard the making of Models of Ships’ interiors—Dining ll Saloons, Smoke Rooms, the Verandah Café, so popular in these days of Holiday Cruising, luxurious State Rooms, etc. The Exhibition Models of Ships by Bassett-Lowke have always been a great attraction wherever displayed, but Models of interiors, just mentioned, have a more intimate personal appeal to a prospective voyager. UT The traveller visualises the apartments and surroundings he will occupy for weeks, perhaps for months. This type of Model is, therefore, of inestimable value to Ship Owners who have highclass modern passenger accommodation to sell. The concentration by Bassett-Lowke on the science and art of model-making, the long practice and high skill of their employees, enables them to provide exhibition models of all kinds at modest and most reasonable prices. Estimates will be given on request, or better still, a qualified representative will call if you wish to discuss any model you may have in mind, all, of course, without any obligation.

It contains the vital moving unit to arrest attention and the exquisite workmanship to hold the interest of the onlooker and potential customer, and is something quite unique in the world of models. Made to the order of the Grand Union Canal Company for their stand at the British Industries Fair this model represents typical canal scenery—rural and industrial—from green fields and hedges and suburban villas to a canalside factory and its loading activities. It is based on a scale of } inch to the foot, is over 17 ft. long, and contains nine gallons of real water, a working motor barge, and a hand-operated lock, automatically changing the level of the canal by means of a concealed centrifugal pump. The idea of the model is to demonstrate to the public the advantages of canal transport. Every detail has been faithfully reproduced, from the tiny bales of goods to the accurately made lock-gates, faced with soft rubber to keep the chamber water-tight. This type of architectural working model has many possibilities.

Recently the General Post Office decided to make this famous mail train the basis for a large working model, showing the operations of the Travelling Post Office, and entrusted the work to us. The exhibit—120 ft. long, consisted of 1} in. gauge scale model double track arranged for continuous running, with 12 ft. diameter loops at each end. Most of one loop is in the form of a hill tunnel, giving scope for artistic scenic effects, and the centre of the track is occupied by a modern design station. At two positions along the track scale model pick-up and delivery apparatus is fitted, enabling the model train to deliver and collect the pouches automatically. The locomotives, rolling stock, signals and railway buildings are 10 m/m. scale and the locomotives, L.M.S. ‘‘ROYAL SCOT”’ and L.M.S. ‘“‘BLACK WATCH,” fitted with special electric motors, were operated by means of the third rail system.

Various types were considered, but eventually the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique— or the French Line—owners of the giant ‘‘NORMANDIE”’, decided on a large waterline model, to a scale of 1-in-100, with the added attraction of internal illumination. The hull is specially hollowed and white light shines out through the transparent windows in the upper structure and from the 1,500 sidelights, glazed and pierced in the hull. , A This 10 ft. miniature of the 79,280 ton French vessel shows her unusual characteristics—large, slanting, pear-shaped funnels, yacht-like counter stern, streamline whaleback forecastle deck, and gracefully terraced after-decks—which single out the ‘“NORMANDI from E” any « other ship on the ocean.

This is a good example of the wide field covered by commercial model-making. Scale models are a comparatively new form of publicity and can be applied with advantage to practically every branch of industry and transport. This model dairy plant is made to a scale of } inch to the foot and measures 5 ft. 10 in. by 2 ft. 6 in. approximately. This scale gives opportunity for a fair amount of interesting detail to be shown, and each part of the model is remarkably true to life. The pasteurising plant is composed of the spiral heat exchanger in one compartment, and the wooden brine tank, motor, condenser and evaporator tanks in the other, inter-connected by various thicknesses and lengths of stainless steel piping. On the left is shown a United Dairies glass-lined tank, which receives the pasteurised milk for transit.
