THE BRITISH-BUILT "GROSE" MONOPLANE. - View from in front and behind. The general dimensions are :- Span, 26 ft.; length, 25 ft.; surface, main planes, 160 sq. ft.; engine, 20-25 h.p. In the photographs sent us by Mr. A. M. Grose, of Oakington, Cambs., the wings are set temporarily at a greater angle than is correct for flying, as at the time of photographing the engine and propeller were being tested by running freely over the ground. Mr. Grose is desirous of arranging for a suitable engine to complete his equipment.
