Hammond Monoplane

   E. V. Hammond's Monoplane was built at Brooklands during the summer of 1913. It was a single-seat tractor and was powered with a water-cooled four-cylinder vee 30 h.p. Advance engine which had been modified for the purpose. Cheapness was a prime consideration behind the design of the machine; the fuselage consisted simply of a pair of steel tubes bet parallel with each other.
