THE GUILLEMIN J..G. 10 (FRE -H)*
A Two-Place Touring Low-Wing Mohoplane
This airplane was built by the Bleriot Company from
the -designs of M-Mr. Guillemin, who had already designed the
ambulance monoplane, the J.G. 40, exhibited 'at the last
salon and described in this magazine. Like the J.G. 40,
the J.G. 10 has a very rational general design and many
ingenious details. (Figs. 1, 2, and 3.)
The wing consists of a central metal portion, inte-
gral with the fuselage, and two. lateral wooden portions
of standard construction, consisting of two box spars and
lattice ribs covered with plywood and fabric. For the
simple reason of economy, Mr. Guillemin renounced- the use
of plywood ribs lightened by circular openings.
Each lateral- portion of the wing is joined to the
central portion along a broken line. The junction is made
by means of -twro vertical pins with fittings of high-resist-
ance steel. These pins terminate in large milled knobs
which are easily operated. Each lateral cantilever wing
is folded in three stages. (Fig.. 4.)
1. It -is disconnected along. the line of separation.
2. It is rotated about an extensible pivot.
3. It is folded back against the fuselage.
The aileron control, which can be removed by. means of a
simple knob, is easily accessible in the leading edge.
The fuselage structure consists entirely of square
duralumin tubes of uniform outside diameter, but of varia-
ble inside diameter. They are assembled by gussets with
tinned tubular steel rivets by means of a special riveting
process invented by MIr. Kirste and patented by the Bldriot
Company. (Fig. 5.)
(The rivet (I), of inside diameter d, has a shoulder
e.. The riveting apparatus consists of a rod T (II) with
