AERO ENGINES AND ACCESSORIES INTRODUCTION During the course of the meeting on Standardisation and the subsequent S.A.E. World Congress, the opportunity was taken of discussing various technical problems with American engineers. Visits were also paid to firms in the vicinity of New York. When discussing technical problems with members of a particular firm views obtained may be somewhat coloured, depending upon the contact and interest which the individual in question has with the particular problem. It is necessary, therefore, to check information received by discussing it with as many members of the firm as possible, and also, wherever feasible, with members of outside organisations. In a visit of such short duration this has not been possible in every case, and consequently the information obtained, while indicating a trend, may be somewhat shaded by the opinions of the particular individuals from whom it was obtained. Wherever it has been possible to check it, however, this fact has been noted. AERO ENGINES. General. Visits were paid to Pratt & Whitney, and to the Wright Aeronautical Corporation.
