VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image shows a vintage newspaper advertisement for Armstrong Siddeley Aero Engines, with the headline "TWICE IN ONE DAY ARMSTRONG SIDDELEY AERO ENGINES MAKE NEWS. " The ad highlights two particular aircraft engines that made news on the same day. The first paragraph describes the Fairey 17 as an interesting aircraft because it is the first to use a paired diesel turbine. It mentions that this aircraft is fitted with an Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba engine, which gives a power output of 3, 000 hp at take-off and has a maximum continuous power of 2, 800 hp. The design features two separate Mamba units laid side by side, each driving its own propeller but geared in common cases arranged to drive contra-rotating propellers, meaning they rotate in opposite directions. This engine type is noted as an axial flow type of gas turbine. In the second paragraph, attention shifts to another achievement involving Armstrong Siddeley engines: The R. A. F. 's rearmament program's fastest monoplane awarded to Hawker Page (Reid) Ltd. , known for its low-wing monoplane design and all-metal construction with stressed-skin covering. This plane is powered by an Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah XVII engine. At the bottom of the ad are details about who placed it: "ARMSTRONG SIDDELEY MOTORS LTD" along with their address in Parkside Coventry England. There's also reference text stating "Reprinted from THE TIMES November 27th. " This advertisement likely dates back several decades when print media was one of the primary methods companies used to announce technological advancements and achievements related to their products.
