H’odd Luggage

BEG y’pardon, Sir! Very h’odd luggage h’indeed Sir!” So spoke a Cockney porter to me at King’s Cross Station, Lunnon, back in ’17, as he struggled with a bed-roll valise, a Belgian Police dog, and a green parrot in a cage, while I followed him with a large and disgusted Manx cat in my arms, and felt quite as foolish as I doubtless looked.

A Manufacturing Opportunity

ONE OF THE most interesting facts of recent years has been the development of what might almost be termed a standard type of airplane. Reference is made to the airplanes built around the OX engine. The number of these planes in use, is so considerable that it was to be expected that some engine manufacturer would have built a commercial engine of about the same horsepower.

Aeronautical Investors

THERE IS one element in the development of aerial transportation on which it is so hard to gather data that it has been largely overlooked, and this is the number of investors, who have already put their money into aircraft ventures. As there have been few air transport lines established in this country it is commonly supposed that the American public has not put any money into flying enterprises.
