VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement featuring the Supermarine Flying Boat, marked with the registration number 9901. The ad highlights that this aircraft is equipped with Tecalemit high pressure lubrication, which it touts as quick, simple, clean, and efficient. The text also notes that Tecalemit's system is lighter than screw-down grease cups. Below the image of the flying boat are endorsements stating that Tecalemit is standard on many prestigious aviation manufacturers of the time such as Armstrong Siddeley, Avro, Beardmore, Blackburns Sopwith Supremarine, De Havilland Fairies Glouster Hawker Harts Spartan Bristol Vickers and Westland machines; it also mentions compatibility with various engine types like Bristol Jupiter, Bristol Cherub, Bristol Mercury Beadmore & Cirrus A. D. C engines. The company behind this product—Tecalemit Ltd. , self-described as lubrication experts—is listed at an address in Mitre House on Scrubbs Lane in Willesden N. W. 10 (North West London). Additionally noted in a small print at top right corner says "Adopted by the Air Ministry, " suggesting official endorsement or use by government aviation bodies during that period. Given its style and content focus on technology from early-to-mid 20th century aviation companies and engine types no longer in production today—the advertisement likely dates back to somewhere between late 1920s to mid-1930s when biplane flying boats were more common and before modern advances in aircraft design took hold.
