Experiments with the new ’chute which is triangular instead of round as are the standard para- chutes now in use, have been go- ing on at Wright field here for more than a year in charge of Maj. L. Hoffman, its designer. It is expected to be adopted for army use if the tests are complet- ed to the satisfaction of army of- ficials. Two corners of the triangular mainsail are rounded, while the third is sheared off straight. This latter corner has no shrouds and when the parachute is in use it forms a vent to rc e air and propel the ‘chute horizontally at a spced of three or four miles an hour. By manipulation of the shroud lines a jumper may turn the para- chute and control direction. Oscillation, or the swinging of the jumper’s body, usual with the ordinary parachute, is cut to a minimum with the Hoffman de- sign. Shock, due to the opening of the parachute with a heavy load, is minimized by an automatic vent in the apex. The. parachute is made of the | same materials and has the same | area as a standard army parachute. i i i The operation of the pilot 'chute, the fisheries industry, Mr. Paul t % saied is virtually unchanged, It |Which pulls the mainsail from the opposes traps vigorously. bag, has been made automatie, It 1s asking the Bureau of Fish- |eliminating the springs used in eries to abolish the deadline at the |regulation equipment. mouths of -salmon streams after a | ——— sufficient number of fish have en- | ———— tered the strcam to insure ndc-ll WHO’S WHO | quate seeding.
