When first I heard that I was to be asked to give this Paper to the Association, one of those present asked me what I knew about Rotor Stations I had to admit that it was very little Some of the remarks I shall make in the paper will seem so obvious as to appear platitudes Others, particularly those relating to the dimensions of the landing area, are offered in the absence of a significant amount of directly applicable data and may be treated as one individual’s guess In these circumstances, the discussion which follows should be of even greater importance relative to the Paper than is normally the case in our meetings
