ond, the wing q ding disk that
causes the wings te move downward

movement similar to that of an oars
man rowing a boat. This eliminates
all jerking motion In the wing.
1t is the constant aim Of mechani-
cal engineers In the construction or

down the speed revolutions to keep
the heat produced by gas combustion
and friction at a temperature that
will prevent distortion of the engines
For the type Of airplane now In
use the propellers must revolve very
rapidly, and consequently, the en-
gines are speeded up very near the
danger point as where q speed OK
