MUSEUM TREASURES IN LONDON"
«^mong the exhibits which, the King recently saw in the new buildings of the Science Museum, South Kensington is a replica, of James Watt's workshop. Everything which "Watt used has been kept intact for over 100 years. The models, machines and general arrangements of the room are just as it" was when he used it last in 1819. As the king entered the main hall to perform the opening ceremony he saw the original Wright aeroplane whichwas made in 1903. Nearby is the Vick-er-Vimy Rolls-Royce aeroplane on which the first direct trans-atlantic" - flight was made by Captain Sir John Aleoek and Lieutenant Sir Arthur Whitten-Brown in 1919.
