a . will be drivi a goodly part. of
‘Sunday School and Bible Class at 10: a.m. TCA's fleet “overseas “and across
M1. Canada’s vast distances, is. about
m. -- -§# -to- become. an important element
“vening orship at p:  «-

in the “nation’s. air ‘transport
future. .

This new British engine is be-
ing installed in the 40-passenger .
“North Star” soon’ to enter TCA’s
international and domestic: ser-
vices. ‘The North Star. is a unique
combination of American and
British aeronautical design, since
its airframe is. based upon Doug-
las specifications.

Two names of greater distinc-
tion than Rolls-Royce and Douglas
could scarcely be found in avia-
tion. What is this Rolls-Royce
620, that, placed in a Douglas
body, has produced such fine re-
‘sults? It is the lineal descendant
of a family of famous engines.
Remember the Schneider’ Cup
races when Rolls-Réyce equipment
accounted for most of the world’s
‘speed. records? Remember, -too,
how the Spitfire with its Merlin
engines saved Britain in 1940 and -
how. those same power-plants gave.
strength -to the Mosquito, the
Mustang, the. Lancaster and many
other famous combat aircraft.

It is not. generally. known that
Britain recognized ‘this service of
an engine to its people by pre-
senting the Rolls-Royce Company
with the Empire’s award for dis-

‘ tinguished service. Rolls-Royce
went forward with the develop-
ment of a related engine for post-

will cruise in “excess of..300 miles
per hour... Two -stages of. super-
charging enable it to develop over
1,250 horse-power when cruising
at 25,500 feet.

Another noteworthy character-
istic of. the Rolls-Royce 620 is its
mounting which enables the com-
plete power plant (engine plus
nacelle forward of the firewall)
to be changed in about 15 min-

utes. An engine change on pre-
sent TCA aircraft takes three to
four hours.

This feature means not only a
considerable saving in time and
man-power! it also means greater
return on the capital. investment
in aireraft by keeping them. fly-

‘ing. -All four engines are com-

pletely interchangeable on the
North Star—inner and outer, port
and: starboard.

From the pilot’s point of view,
the 620 is-a model of simplified
handling. In -place: of a multi-
tude of knobs, switches, levers.
and buttons - these engines call
only for individual throttle ‘levers
and a master propeller lever (sup-
plemented’ by small individual
propeller switches). All else is
automatic—including mixture and
heat controls.

TCA has already trained its
personnel in the ways of the new

equipment. An expansion and re--

organization of the engine shop
provides for two separate. assem-
bly ‘lines for the two engine types |.
the ‘company will have in service.

tion models. of the North Star will *
