   The Mann and Overtons Monoplane was designed and built by Mann and Overtons Ltd., coachbuilders of 15 Commercial Road, Pimlico, S.W.I, and was a diminutive single-seater reminiscent of the Demoiselle. It was displayed at the Olympia Aero Show of 1910, and was fitted with the 35 h.p. Anzani engine. The open fuselage was of steel tubing. The machine was tested late in 1910 at the Midland Aero Club's grounds at Dunstall Park, Wolverhampton, but was unsuccessful. Span, 18 ft. 4 ins. Length, 20 ft. Wing area, 128 sq. ft. Weight loaded, 536 lb. Maximum speed, 45 m.p.h. Price, ?300.

   MONOPLANE of Santos Dumont type but having main frame constructed of hollow wood spars, instead of being made of tubular steel. The struts in the main frame, like those in the chassis, are made of tubular steel, as in the original Santos Dumont design. The disposition of the engine and of the pilot's seat is relatively the same, but the details of control are different. The Santos Dumont type of tail, however, is retained. The lever on the pilot's left operates a rudder by a to-and-fro motion, and the warping of the wings by a sideways movement; on the pilot's right is a lever controlling the elevator.
