Himalayan Expedition to Study Goitre
About three-quarters of all facilities are under the safeguards system, and agree ments which USA has with Colombia, Costa Rica and Venezuela may be added. It is clear that all Latin American countries are well aware of many of the ways in which atomic energy can assist in development, and that its role in the region will expand rapidly. HIMALAYAN EXPEDITION TO STUDY GOITRE A New Zealand team carried radioisotopes and equipment when scaling the Himalayas on an expedition of mercy. Besides helping to build a hospital, they studied the serious results in the area resulting from the prevalence of goitre in an effort to bring relief to the mountain- dwelling Sherpas. In one village nearly every inhabitant was suffering from thyroid disorder. Leading the expedition was Sir Edmund Hillary, who not only gained world fame as the first conqueror of Everest but formed a lasting friendship with the Sherpas whose assistance was valuable in that feat. He had determined to return in order to help establish a hospital for them and in October last year was able to carry out the difficult project, thanks to generous voluntary contributions from the people of New Zealand. They had already helped him to set up some schools. With him on his return was a medical research group headed by Dr. H.K. Ibbertson, of Auckland Hospital, New Zealand. Under a research contract placed by the Agency at a cost of $15 500, supported by a grant of £3000 ($8400) from the Wellcome Trust of London, they flew from New Zealand and dien, with the help of sturdy native porters, man-handled their heavy equip- men up the steep slopes. -

The Bristol M.1 Monoplane
20 THE BRISTOL M.1 MONOPLANE By Colin Owers The introduction of the synchronised machine gun by the Germans saw the Allies without any aircraft capable of matching the new German scouts. The Royal Aircraft Factory had already produced a single-seat version of the B.E.2c under the designation B.E.12. This aircraft had such a disastrous combat career that in June 1916 Sir Douglas Haig condemned its further use on the Western Front. On the 14th of the following month a remarkable little monoplane was flown for the first time. Its performance was such that its failure to be ordered for the Western Front has remained one of the unresolved questions of the Great War. This monoplane was designed for the Bristol company by Captain Frank Barnwell who had returned in August 1915 as Chief Designer "on indefinite leave without pay" from the RFC. Barnwell had tested spinners on the Bristol Scout, and comparison between Scout 5555 with a hemispherical spinner and Scout 5556 with a pointed spinner revealed that the latter was prone to vibration and structurally unstable while the domed spinner gave no trouble. Barnwell had then designed his new monoplane around the 110 hp Clerget 9Z rotary engine in a similar cowling fitted with a hemispherical spinner. Designated M.lA the new Bristol design was one of the cleanest aircraft of its time, Gone were the multitude of drag-inducing struts and wires. Two landing wires supported each wing from a curved cabane which was mounted over the cockpit so that it also functioned as roll-over protection for the pilot. -
