THE Société Francaise de Matériel d'Aviation, who manufacture aircraft accessories, such as brakes and oleo‐pneumatic shock‐absorbers, invented by the founder, the late Georges Messier, have recently built an experimental low wing monoplane fitted with an interesting tandem wheel retractable undercarriage embodying some of his ideas. The following description is illustrated mainly from various patent specifications.
