General standard type of _Bleriot_ 1912 & 1913.] ~Special types of Bleriots.~--In addition to the standard machines, Bleriot from time to time produces special machines, of which the best known is the _Limousine_, built for M. Deutsch de la Meurthe, built 1911 and still existing. One or two Canards have also been built, including an armoured military. [Illustration: BLERIOT-LIMOUSINE. UAS.] Early in 1913 a special experimental military machine was produced with considerable secrecy. [Illustration: BLERIOT MILITARY. Special 1913 military. UAS.] BOREL. G.

The monocoque has coque body, the others ordinary rectangular section. Floats of the hydro as illustrated. For the rest the ordinary mono. is practically on the same lines as the 1912. The racer is somewhat on _Deperdussin_ lines, but the body is built up inside. No fixed tail. The hydro. is an enlarged edition of the mono. Floats display nothing very original, except that a float under tail is interconnected with the rudder, and that the two front floats are fitted for being rowed. Fitted with a self-starter.
