Henschel Hs 121. The Henschel Hs 121 was the first aircraft built by the German Henschel company. It was a high-wing monoplane with an inline engine, fixed undercarriage and single, open cockpit, designed as an advanced trainer. Only one aircraft was produced, in 1933–4, as a testpiece for the Air Ministry.

Development
Henschel & Son of Kassel were originally known as manufacturers of locomotives, though they later produced lorries and buses.  In 1933 they set up an aviation subsidiary based at Schönefeld with a branch at Johannisthal. New aircraft manufacturers who intended to produce aircraft for the Luftwaffe had first to make a testpiece or masterpiece (Befahigungsnachweis) to prove their competence and the Hs 121 was Henschel's offering.

It was a high-wing braced monoplane, with gull wing roots to enhance the pilot's forward view from the open cockpit set well back behind the trailing edge. The wing was built around two metal spars with metal-covered leading edges and fabric elsewhere. There was solid bracing from near mid-wing to the lower fuselage and from this bracing inwards to the shoulder of the gull wing. The oval fuselage had a metal structure with metal covering. The tail was also a metal structure, with metal covering on the fin and tailplane but with fabric-covered control surfaces. There was wire bracing between fin and tailplane. The spatted main-wheels were carried on streamlined legs which angled outwards from the lower fuselage to increase the track.

Power was from a 180 kW (240 hp) Argus As 10C inverted in-line engine.

It flew for the first time at Johannisthal on 4 January 1934. A test flight programme produced some modifications: the fin was braced, the tailplane extended and more bracing was added between the landing gear and the fuselage. Only one Hs 121 was built.

William Henry Ellis (engineer). Sir William Henry Ellis (20 August 1860 – 4 July 1945) was a British civil engineer and steel maker.

Ellis was born on 20 August 1860 in Pitsmoor, Sheffield, Yorkshire. He was the son of John Devonshire Ellis (1824–1906) and, his wife, Elizabeth Bourne. In 1889 Ellis married Lucy Rimington, the daughter of Francis William Tetley who was a director of Joshua Tetley & Son, the brewery in Leeds.  Together they had two sons and two daughters. Ellis was a steel maker and in 1914 was elected Master Cutler, the head of the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire and ambassador of industry for Sheffield. His tenure as Master Cutler, a position which usually changes each year, lasted until 1918 due to the outbreak of the First World War. In 1918 he was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Engineering by the University of Sheffield.

Ellis was elected president of the Institution of Civil Engineers for the November 1925 to November 1926 session. On 28 June 1926 he was appointed by the Home Secretary, William Joynson-Hicks, 1st Viscount Brentford, to sit on a commission which had been established to enquire into the conditions of mining and drainage in the county borough Doncaster in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The commission was a tribunal of inquiry as established by the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act of 1921 and was established to inquire about what effect mining had had on drainage in the area, what the current efficiency of land drainage systems was and how best to manage the issue in the future. At the time of the inquiry Ellis was a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire, and hence entitled to use the title of "Sir". His wife, Lucy, died in 1938 and by 1942 he was living in Ecclesall, Sheffield. Ellis died on 4 July 1945.

Rearwin Junior. The Rearwin Junior was a 1930s two-seat high-winged ultra-light monoplane sport aircraft produced in the United States by Rearwin Airplanes Inc. It was part of a trend of extremely low-cost aircraft as manufacturers attempted to survive the Great Depression.

Development
The Aeronca C-2 had successfully debuted in 1930 as a low-cost two-seat ultra-light sportplane, setting a trend for aircraft manufacturers trying to survive the Great Depression. Douglas Webber and Noel Hockaday at the American Eagle Aircraft Corporation, based at the Fairfax Airport near Rearwin, had followed with the similarly-targeted American Eagle Eaglet. Douglas Webber eventually left American Eagle and started advertising a complete design of another similar aircraft and his services as an engineer—Rearwin bought the design, hired Webber and Hockaday, and completed the prototype in 6 months. The first flight was in April 1931.

The Junior was tested with an experimental engine by Guy Poyer (a business acquaintance of the company's main investor) built in the Rearwin factory, but that project failed. An alternative engine was also certified.

Design
The Junior was a conventional, high-wing monoplane with two seats in tandem in an open cockpit and fixed, tailskid undercarriage. An optional enclosed canopy was also available. The wings were of wooden construction while the fuselage and empennage were built from welded steel tube, with the whole aircraft skinned in fabric.

While the Junior resembled Webber and Hockaday's preceding Eaglet, it was longer, wider, and had wider landing gear. It was heavier than the Eaglet but also more capable.

Operational history
Although the Rearwin Junior was designed to meet the lowest possible sale price, the onset of the Great Depression severely limited the size of the market for sport aircraft, and only a small number were built.

Variants
 Junior 3000 - version with Szekely SR-3 engine (approximately 20 built)
 Junior 3001 - version with Poyer engine (one built, later converted to the Junior 4000 standard)
 Junior 3100 - version with Szekely SR-5 engine (Two built)
 Junior 4000 - version with Aeromarine AR-3 engine (eight built)

Surviving aircraft
The Junior prototype survived in the private collection of Oscar Cooke until it was auctioned in 1998.

Fisher-Porter tube. A Fisher-Porter tube or Fisher-Porter vessel is a glass pressure vessel used in the chemical laboratory. The reaction vessel consists of a lipped heavy-wall borosilicate glass tube and a lid made from stainless steel. The lid is sealed with an o-ring and held in place with a coupling.

The advantage over steel autoclaves is that the progress of a reaction can be followed by eye.  The maximum pressure that can be achieved is much lower than that in a metal bomb. For example, typical pressure ratings are 7 bar for a large 335 mL Fisher-Porter vessel and 15 bar for a small 90 mL one, whereas the usual kind of bomb is safe to use with 200 bar.  Illustrative applications involve reactions at elevated temperatures using volatile reagents.

Name
The name has become something of a genericised trademark. For decades these flasks used to be made by the Fisher & Porter Company until it became a part of ABB. Nowadays they are sold by Andrews Glass under the Lab-Crest label.

Alternatives

Ace Glass offers thick-walled glass tubes with their proprietary Ace-Thred screw caps. Caps are available to fit gas plunger valves to admit gases under pressure. Similar arrangements are available from Q Labtech and sold through Sigma-Aldrich.

Rearwin Speedster. The Rearwin Speedster was a two-seat, high-wing, sport aircraft produced by Rearwin Airplanes Inc. in the United States in the 1930s.

Development
Design of the Speedster started in 1933 as sales of the Rearwin Ken-Royce and Junior began to flag in response to the Great Depression. While the previous aircraft had been built by "Rearwin Airplanes," a joint venture between Rae Rearwin and an investor, the Speedster was built by Rearwin's newly formed company "Rearwin Aircraft." Rearwin had negotiated the use of Rearwin Airplane's equipment and property from his investor since it was being underutilized during the Great Depression. The initial design work proceeded smoothly, with first flight of the prototype occurring on July 11, 1934. However, efforts to certify the design were unsuccessful as it could not meet the Civil Aeronautics Authority's spin recovery rules (later relaxed).

Multiple engineers were hired and passed through Rearwin as the company attempted to improve the aircraft's spin recovery. Work was suspended between 1934 and 1937. By the time it was resumed in 1938, the ACE Cirrus engine that had powered the two prototypes was out of production, and Speedsters produced in series had Menasco C-4 engines. Rearwin had developed and begun selling the Rearwin Sportster and would also develop and sell the Rearwin Cloudster once the Speedster finally entered production.

Design
The Speedster was intended as a good-performing, two-seat, high-wing monoplane with an enclosed cabin. As such, it was designed around the ACE Cirrus, an inverted, four-cylinder inline engine that was tightly faired into the body of the airplane. To maintain a small frontal area, the cabin accommodations were cramped. Passenger and pilot were seated in tandem. After the Cirrus engine went out of production, the Menasco C-4 was substituted.

To address the issues with spin recovery, the flight controls were given improved bearings and rudder-centering springs. The tail surface was enlarged and redesigned, becoming a distinctive feature of the model. The gaps between the ailerons and the wings were also redesigned to better maintain airflow.

Variants
 Speedster 6000 - Prototype. Initially with in-line ACE Cirrus engine then the Menasco C-4. (1 built)
 Speedster 6000M - production version with Menasco C-4 engine (10 built)

Surviving aircraft
By early 2018, four examples of the model 6000 remained registered as active with the Federal Aviation Administration. A model 6000M is preserved at the Experimental Aircraft Associations AirVenture Museum at Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
