     22.  Cartridge starter

          The starter push button (47) at the bottom of the
          instrument panel operates the L.4 Coffman starter and
          the booster coil.   The control (70) for reloading the
          breech is below the right-hand side of the instrument 
          panel and is operated by slowly pulling on the finger
          ring and then releasing it.

     23.  Hand starting

          A starting handle is stowed behind the seat.   A hole in
          the engine cowling panel on the starboard side gives
          access for connecting the handle to the hand starting
          gear.
          
     24.  Engine instruments

          The engine instruments are grouped on the right hand side
          of the instrument panel and comprise the following:
          engine-speed indicator (58), fuel pressure gauge (59),
          boost gauge (61), oil pressure gauge (69), oil inlet
          temperature gauge (67), radiator outlet temperature
          gauge (63) and fuel contents gauge (46).

                 COCKPIT ACCOMMODATION AND EQUIPMENT
          
     25.  Pilot's seat control

          The seat is adjustable for height by means of a lever on
          the right hand side of the seat.
          
     26.  Safety harness release

          In order that the pilot may lean forward without
          unfastening his harness, a release catch (73) is fitted
          to the right of the seat.
          
     27.  Cockpit door

          To facilitate entry to the cockpit a portion of the
          coaming on the port side is hinged.   The door catches
          are released by means of a handle at the forward end.
          Two position catches are incorporated to allow the door
          to be partly opened before taking off or landing in
          order to prevent the hood from sliding shut in the event
          of a mishap.
          
     28.  Hood locking control

          The sliding hood is provided with spring catches for
          holding it either open or shut;  the catches are released
          by two finger levers at the forward end of the hood.
          From outside, with the hood closed, the catches can be
          released by pressing a small knob at the top of the
          windscreen.   |Provision is made on the door to prevent the
          hood from sliding shut if the aeroplane over-turns on
          landing.
