7. Reconditioning and Maintenance 



Alterations to Equipment: 



From information based on experience with Edo flotation gear during 

 the seasons 1931 and 1932, a decision was made to equip additional machines 

 with this type of gear for the season 1933. Two light aircraft and two trans- 

 port aircraft were so equipped and a decided increase in performance was 

 gained. Recent developments in this type of gear and the experience gained 

 in the Service with it, makes it advisable to change over to modern flotation 

 gear as swiftly as may be done with due regard for economy. 



During the Winter season of 1932-33, an engine mount was designed and 

 constructed in the Provincial Air Service shops at Sault Ste. Marie, for the 

 Vedette Amphibian, to accommodate the installation of a new Wasp Jr. motor. 

 The mount was made entirely of metal and a greater strength was built into 

 the whole installation. Reports on the performance of the ship during the 1933 

 operating season reveal that the new mount and motor was entirely satisfactory. 



Among the minor alterations and replacements carried out during the 

 Winter may be included the complete renewal of the fuel and oil systems for 

 the two Hamilton All-metal machines. A number of completely new engine- 

 mounting brackets were also made for the Moth machines. Also a Winter 

 top for a Moth that is required for Winter operations was designed and con-
