This parachute, about two feet in diameter
pulls the big chute from the pack. The
whole thing weighs about thirty pounds
While parachutes are still virtually in
their infancy as yet, as a writer in the Air
SerUtce NetCs Letter, organ of the Air Ser
vice. recently pointed out the airplane para :
chute has now been developed to a point
where in case of accident TO the plane any
pilot or mechanic who knows something
about them would unhesitatingly dive over
the side, trusting his life to one OF them.
During the war observers in observation
balloons used parachutes, and many man
reached the ground in safety after an enemy
scout plane had fired his balloon. Plane
pilots however crashed to death when their
ships were disabled, for it was not thought
possible to make use OF an aerial life pre-
server in a machine making from sixty to
a hundred and sixty miles an hour.
In order to push along the parachute and
make the air safe for aeronauts the United
states Air Service has established a regular
school and experimental laboratory at Nc

tant still. to fold them.

This type OF parachute is tested by releas-

Although no other young men in the flying

ming to try for 10000 foot drop. To reach
10000 feet in a plane the motor must be
equipped with an air compressor, or super
charger, and the two men must wear oxy-
gen masks and breathe from tanks. Whether
a parachute will open at 10000 feet is not
known; no parachute ever has opened at
that height, but, as Sergeant Chambers op-
timistically points out, no parachute has
failed to open at that height.
Although the altimeters on the plane In

Sergt. Chambers'S Four Mile Jump
Established a Worlds Record
One of the most spectacular jumps ever
made was recently scored by Sergeant Ensel
Chambers of the 135th Aero Squadron.
United States Air Service, out at Post Field
Fort Sill, Okla The sergeant established a
worlds record by a leap from 22,200 feet
more than four miles-above sea level
Love may make the world go around, but
it is rivalry between squadron and SQUAD

ord held by another Air Service man, and
his cunning was successful.
With parachute strapped on his chest
and another on his back, with most of the
sweaters and gloves owned by his squadron
and all of the socks at the field on him.
Sergeant Chambers was hoisted into the
rear seat of a powerful De Haviland plane
Then somebody put on his helmet and
clinched 1t under his chin, strapped on his
rear chute. Up in the front cockpit Lieut.
Paul T. Wagner. also vouminously attired
opened the throttle. the motor roared and
the big plane numbered across the field grew
lighter and leaped into the air
Then while Sergeant Chambers thought
of many things Lieut.. Wagner thought of
nothing but making altitude. He kept the
big ship circling around the field at the
maximum climbing angle Higher and
higher the big ship roared, and as II rose
the temperature dropped At $4,000 feet
pilot and jumper began breathing deeply,
for it is about this level that the thinning
OF the air Is first noticed. Making no un-
necessary movements. the two men watched
the altimeters Slowly the little indicators
in both cockpits moved around the dials.
The first $4,000 feet was easy. for the motor
then had all the air It needed. but above
that height the motor, like the men, lost
power.
When his instrument had steadily pointed
at $1,000 feet for some time Lieut.. Wagner
saw he could force the plane no higher. He
turned and pointed downward with a thickly
swaddled finger. Then II was Sergeant
Chamberss move. The multitudinous gar
ments had been to keep heat in his body.
Sergeant Chambers decided that his fingers
were not numb enough to interfere with
pulling the little trip cord on which his life
depended.
BY great exertion he heaved himself up
of the gunners stool on which he had been
sitting and tumbled over the side OF the ma
chine. BY good fortune he dropped under
the ship before the tail could strike him.
From here on his own words best describe
the drop.
II can't recall Jerking the trip cord as
shot downward. but must have done It
somehow. for after I had dropped fully
1000 feet heard flutter and sudden loud
report as the parachute which had been
