| her leading features carried to a greater
extreme.
The original report that she was to be
plated with nickel steel was doubted at
| the time, and now the wisdom of the doubt
| is shown. Nickel steel has greater tensile
| allows the use of smaller and lighter
| frame. Ailsa's frames are also of nickel
steel. and 1t would not be at all surprising
| to find that the frames of the new Her.
| Ieshoff cup defender are of the same ma
| terial. Exact information on the latter
point ic not obtainable. but the cup de-
tenders frames are certainly very light in
color for plain steel, and come much near
| er nickel steel in looks.
They are also of unusually small size.
| and this would seem to further indicate
the use of nickel steel.
