HC Deb 31 July 1918 vol 109 c408
21. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked what is now the position in relation to the Ayrton fan; and whether Mr. Greenslade's services are being employed to supervise the training with this device?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The Ayrton fan is a service issue, and is applied to the uses for which it is adapted. The answer to the second part of my hon. and gallant Friend's question is in the negative.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Is training in the use of the fan by instructors who do not know how to use them still going on, and Professor Greenslade not being employed to put things right?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Well, I am not quite sure that I can answer that question exactly at the present moment; but I know he has been round the country.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Has the right hon. Gentleman read the report of Professor Greenslade?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I have not personally read it, but we have it.
