13,000lb Thrust During Test

Rolls-Royce Limited announce that a Conway aero engine has completed a British Government type-test at 13,000 Ib. thrust. Incorporating the by-pass prin- ciple, the Conway has the lowest specific fuel consumption of any type-tested jet engine. One of the aircraft it will power is the four engined Vickers V.1000 military transport.

The by-pass engine resembles the normal jet engine, but has an additional duct through which some of the air from the compressor by-passes the combustion chambers and re-enters the jet stream aft of the turbine.

St Mark's Tower

Venice, Aug. 29.

Six mechanical "nurses" have been given the task of watching over Venice's most illustrious 'patient-the 99-metre |(324-foot) high Campanile (Bell Tower) of

St Mark, which dominates the city.

•

During inspections lasting nine months, thin cracks were found in the foundations of the Tower. To avoid a repetition of the 1902 disaster, when the original 12th century tower collapsed with a roar, the city engineers have prepared six precision instruments which will record the slightest movement in its foundations.

The instruments have been placed in six wells bored round the base of the tower and covered with reinforced concreto lds which, while easily re- movable to allow the engineera to check the instrumenta, yet invisible to the thousands of visitors, Italian and foreign, who crowd the great Piazza Sure Marco,
