GROWING INDUSTRY Dowty Looks To Future AJAX -- On the eve of 21 years of progress in Canada, The Dowty Equipment (Canada) Lid, pauses to reflect oo the past and look to the future, Even before the days of the Silver Dart, first aireraft to be designed, built and flown in Can ada, good landing gears were vital to aircraft operation, Only a few months after the Silver Dart made its historic flight 50 years ago, it was wrecked in a demonstration while landing at Petawawa, near Ottawa. As a result, John A, D. Me- Curdy falled to convince the su thorities of the value of the air- eraft in warfare. Not until alter the last war was his vision of a Canadian industry, manufactur. ing planes of its own design, , realized, Today's eomplex aircraft de pend much more on their under- carriages, as well as hydraulic systems, than did the Silver Dart Their elaborate retractable gears must be designed and built to withstand the tremendous loads of high « speed landings, and | boar little resemblance fo the | simple bicyele wheels attached fo the Silver Dart's bamboo air frame, Through the years Dowty has kept pace in its undercarriage and hydrayfics developments with the operational needs of modern aircraft, The take-off and land ing runs of the Avro Arrow amd Canadair Argus are aboul a mile -- the léngth of the Silver Dart's first flight, The range of the Argus is 4000 miles, while the Silver Dart"s longest flight was only 20, The speed of the supersonic Arrow is many times the Silver Dart's top speed of 40 mph, The hydraulic control systems of these modern aircraft could not be fwoseen in the Silver Dart's elementary flying controls, The modified motor-cycle en | gine of the Silver Dart has been | developed to the powerful Orenda Iroquois jets of the Arrow, each generating about 22,000. pounds thrust, Truly Canadian come of age! aviation has \ Proud of Hs contribution over THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tussdey, December 14, 1958 13 the years to such a soi -sulficient | -- ein Pp ,--_ _---- private-enterprise industry, Dow-| In Ajax Dowly's are INCREASING TOLL ty is prepared to serve again in | located in three modern plants, | gon Africa had 1,781 persons killed in road accidents In the all phases of the industry's cover) almost 100,000 8. fi. of future development, production. space, first eight months of 1956, against A MY SINCERE THANKS TO THE PEOPLE OF AJAX FOR MY RE-ELECTION AS MAYOR "BY ACCLAMATION FOR 1959.
