in the test to determine the safety

will consist of dropping the cage
from The top of the tower to the
air cushion, a distance Of 872 feet
8 inches. 1t is calculated that it
will when thus released travel at
the rate of 256 feet second. The
eggs and water will be placed on the
key of nails. The rats, in trap,

eggs not cracked and the rats are
not dead after the drop, the test
