From Aeroplane monthly 2010/4,

here is a strange story about Mr. G. P. Glover and his direct lift machine of 1912,it was built in Blackburn company,
but I don't know if that design was anticipated to the firm also,or just it was the constructing ?,and need a picture or
drawing to it ?.

John Peter Glover. Blackburn constructed a lot of components and aircraft for others, this must have been one. It would have looked something like the design shown in his GB and US patents

Dear Hesham,

I carefully listed the "Aeroplane" magazine № 4 2010 (and № 4 2011 also) but find nothing about Glover machine. Could you, please, check the reference and inform me the page number?

Thank you in advance.

I also suppose G.P. Glover, as is written in the text you have published, is misprint. Tagg and Goodall name the man "J.P. Glover". And John Peter Glover really got British patent GB-1910-28212 for "balanced system of rapidly moving feathering blades of large area, completely revolving in opposite directions with uniform speed.... The balancing system consists of two sets of rotating blades". Scemes published by Schneiderman are from this patent description.

Also, not in my indexing of Aeroplane for any date pre-2017 (haven't got further than that yet). The image of the article just doesn't "look" Aeroplane, either.
