AIRPLANE THAT MAY FLY HERE

The watchword of every aerial en-
terprise Is "a good landing field II
would seem that the policy of wisdom
for Topeka to follow would be to lay
out such q field here. Owing to the
fact that the government aerial mail
is practically assured for this city, it
would seem a good plan for the city
to prepare an extra large and extra fine
landing field that would accommodate
not only the aerial mail and the Law
son passenger planes, but other flyers
as well.
Have Network of Lines.
Alfred Lawson, president of the
Lawson Airline company. declares
that next spring he expects to have
10 passenger planes in operation be-
tween New York and San Francisco,
with branches to the principal cities
along the way. Within a month, ,
pathfinder will be sent out to deter
mine finally the routes to be chosen.
The planes Lawson is building at Mil
waukee weigh seven tons and will car
~ twenty-six passengers, besides the
crew. He boasts that no man has
ever been hurt in connection with one
or his machines, and he is a veteran
aeroplane manufact urer.
This is but the beginning of an era
or aerial development, ard it is evil
dent that the cities that offer the
greatest inducements are going to be
the ones on the main airways of the
coast-to-coast transportation compa-
MES. In few years the air will
mean as much to Topeka as the rail-
road and truck have in the past. and
II IS hoped that while the city is
laying out field it will arrange one
large enough and elaborate enough to
meet all demands of the future.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1919-07-19

Within the next month or two, pro-
vided Topeka takes the proper action,
one of the huge Lawson passenger
airplanes, Weighing seven tons and
capable OF carrying twenty-six passen-
gers in addition to the crew, will come
city a stopping point on the great
transcontinental airline to be estab-
lished by the Lawson Airline Trans
portation company next spring.
If Topeka wants to become a stop
ping point on this line, according to
Alfred Lawson. president of the COM
pany, it will have to furnish landing
field 1900 yards square. The field
must be flat, rolled as hard as pos
and sand foundations to prevent mud
or rough frozen ground in wet weather
or frost All approaches must be
clear for safe landing and take-off in
all kinds of weather
The field must contain concrete or
macadam runways 60 feet wide and
800 feet long in the form of a cross
in the center of the field. to be the
same as the standard state road beds
in depth and construction. The han
gar must face toward the field, with
its back in the direction of the high
est prevailing wind
Must Have Accommodations.
The accommodations for flyers with
which the field must be equipped are:
hangar space. wind indicator, eleva-
ton or altitude sign on side of hangar,
available tools and other repair equip
ment; gasoline, oil, water, sundry
spares, telephone service. attendants
or available help upon request, proper
guard and endorsements of field regu-
lattons and field accommodations for
passengers and crew.
