tial MAY 29, 1920 LUMURY IND COMFORT WN PLANES APPCINTWENTS AKL MOTOR CHR == (By United Press.) NEW YORK, May 29.—The finest custom-built motor car will hardly compare in luxurious fittings and arrangements for |‘ personal comfort with some of the new American-built aircraft. | American aircraft designers apparently have laid stress on com- | fort and luxury. The machines vary in size costing several thousand dollars to the smaller sport planes for land und water. These first wholly popular are said to be reasonably low in price comparing favorably with motor cars One of the planes is the C Eagle, an eight passenger limousir the first three-motored airplane to be built in the United States. Entering an accessible side door, one finds him self in a comfortable cabin with in- dividual wicker chairs and windows through which the outside world can be plainly seen. The motors are equipped with a self-starter. The m .- chine has a speed of 107 miles an hour. Another giant is the Glenn L, Mar- Win twelvapassenger transport. The seating arrangements are unique. Four. passengers, including the pilot, are carried up in the nose of the plane and eight more are seated in leather up holstered chairs in the main body, both compartments being connected by a sliding door. The whole huge bo: is enclosed, the nose being dbwled over with a celluloid composition allowing the pilot good visibility. Windows of non-breakable glass in the sides give the passengers an un surpassed view of the country. Un der test with a full load of twelve pas sengers this Martin transport disclosed remarkable speed and climb. Approxi- mately two miles a minute has b2en maintained with full load. This ship is designed for long distance flights. The length of the Martin plane is 46 feet, width’ 71 feet, height 14 feet. It has a four:wheel landing gear and is driven by two Liberty motors of 400 h. p. each. Another is the new Thomas-Morse twin-engined mail plane, powered with two Hispano-Suiza motors, both being placed in a center nacelle. One drives a pusher propeller and the other a tractor propeller.

FABRIC CAUSE TROUBLE THA PINGHING OF TUBES “Inspect the inside of your casings frequently for small fabric rupture: if you are bothered by pinched tuh advises Earl C. Boyle, Firestone rcp: resentative for Wyoming. He points out that often fabric bruises, not discernable from the out-@ side of the casing, will cause great trouble in this respect. [3 es of this sort, to either tube or casing, are not serious !f given immediate | and proper attention. ‘The tube almost in jvariably can be repaired in a satis- ‘factory manner, either by app‘icatin jof a patch, or if this is not practicable because of the size of the injury. by inserting a new tube section. How- ever the trouble will not. ne obviated unless the casing also is repatrcd, Pinches also frequently occur from misapplication, Mr. Boyle says. Tle calls attention to the fact that, when a tire is ridden soft, there is a rend. ency for the flap to become misplacel and for the tube to work under the bead when it lifts up at the toe irum the internal pressure under the weight of the car. The Firestone representative also emphasized the fact that the use of powdered mica, or soapstone in proper measure, as a lubricant often will pre vent tube troubles. ett catia Lice this} priced automobiles, self-starters, tele- phones, wicker chairs, chairs with vei- vet cushions, compartments upholster. ed in Spanish leather, vanity cases, room for a game and folding tabics for Immcheon while in flight, me of the features of thesé néw commercial flying limousines. The aeromarine tly Ing boat, for instince has a weathcr- proof cabin finely upholstered and sound proof. Dwarfed by comparison with the larger _ airplanes, nevertheless, the small flyabout machines will ettract much attention, promoters say. Built to sell for $1,500 up these airplanes are capable ‘of being parked in the or- dinary ‘‘flivver” garage. The Gallaudet “chummy _ fiyabout which carries two people is only 18 feet 7 inches long, 33 feet wide and 6 feet high and is of monoplane design. The Cato “Butterfly” is also a mono- plane measuring only 28 feet 1144 inches from tip to tip. Weighing only 735 pounds fully loaded it has attain- éd a height of 12,500 feet and flown at a speed of 70 miles an hour. Most remarkable of all is that it can remain in the afr six hours, landing at a speed of only 20 miles an hour, and be brought to a dead stop within 45 feet of the place where its wheels first touch the ground. He who wants to make a slow com- fortable cruise through the air will be {nterested in the pony blimp, said to be the smallest dirigible for practical uses ever constructed in this country. Only 95 feet long and with a bag which has a diameter of only 28 feet, it has comfortable accommodations in J pase is the fet lees to make sure that the Mark stamped on the side. Then bring that battery here to have it registered, and after that make a point of stopping in once in two weeks for inspection and test. You cannot keep on getting first class service even from a Still Better Willard unless you keep it charged and put in water when needed.
