The | breakage was facilitated by the neces- | sity to save weight, which imposed use | of light-weight wire equipment, and by | the complication of getting light-weight wires to carry sufficient electric current | without, risking sparks. ‘Two American cngineers, E. W. Beggs #nd A. B. McKenna of the Westinghouse Lamp Co., designed a new type of lamp for the return flight.
