' Some Aerial Inventions '
Major Oliver Stewart , M.C.
In his talks this afternoon Major Oliver Stewart is going to discuss various inventions designed to improve the science of aeronautics.
This is a field in which the inventor has been very active, though not always very practical. Major Stewart's talk will deal both wit.i fantastic and useless inventions, and also with those which, though hardly less fantastic, have proved to be practical developments, such as the autogyro and slotted wings on air- . craft.
