Building Trunks for Flying Machines

Probably the biggest trunks ever built are four
which were made to order about year ago by
a New York manufacturer and which were de
signed to carry aeropanes.
There were two of these flying machines. both

four giant trunks; trunk for each flying
chine body, trunk In which the four wings.
each divided into two parts packed and
a fourth trunk in which slowed four pro-
peers.
Each Of the body trunks is SO feet long by about
IS inches square. The trunk for the wings is 25
feet long and ~ feet hsoad at one end and 0 feet
broad at the other while the trunk for the pro
pellers Is 8 feet long

rocks containing nitric and sulphuric acid salts
