tire plane is of an advanced design. The
wings are of cantilever construction
with no external bracing to cause air
resistance. Special low type windshieldS
are fitted to the two cockpits to de-
crease drag.
The cockpitS are located well toward
the tail of the fuselage, both being
equipped with complete. controls, one set
for the use of Mrs. Lindhergh. The for
ward cockpit, to be occupied by the
colonel, however, has number of spe-
cial instruments.
Special Housing for Wheels.
The landing gear also has been care
fully streamlined and the wheels are
equipped with a special housing known
as pants" which cuts down air resist
ance and adds several miles per hour t.
the speed.
The wing span is to be AZ feet 10
inches, with a mean chord Of 80 inches
and wing area of 265 square feet. The
overall length of the plane will be q
feet inches. For Col. Lindbergh'S use
extra gasoline tanks have been installed
giving a total capacity of 440 gallons of
fuel and a cruising range of approx
mately $500 miles. With this load of
fuel oil and an estimated weight of 500
pounds for Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh and
their parachuteS and baggage, the plane

Placing of BeaconS often Re.
quires Cutting of Way to
Mountain Top.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Take it from Capt F. c. Hingsburg,
chief OF the Department of Commerce
Always division, lighting the Nations
airWayS is an arduouS task.
There have been places" he says,
where our men literally have had to
cut their way through to a location
selected for beacon on some mountain
top.
When one flies over the western
section of the tranScontinental air mail
route beacon flashes by every six min
uteS, but on the ground 1t would take
a person two days to make the 10-mile
trip between some of the lights because
of the topography.
THE beaconS, throwing a 1000, 600
candlepoWer beam around the horizon
from q 51-foot steel tower, are placed
every 10 miles along the airwayS. At
every third beacon, is an emergency
landing field. In the mountainous coun-
try some of these emergency fields are
far from habitation!'
Capt. Hingsburg told of the Pleasant
Valley emergency field between the East
and the Sonoma ranges in Nevada.
1t is so miles by mountain trail from
the nearest town, Winnemucca," he
said. There is no commercial power
available to operate the beacon and we
generate our own. A caretaker and his
family live at the field and supplies
are taken into the valley every six
months. In Winter the field is COM
pletely isolated by snow-blocked trails"
There are many similar places. For
some, caretakers cannot be obtained.
If no commercial electric power is avail
able, automatic acetylene lights every
miles replace the electric beaconS.
At the end of this year, the Depart
ment of Commerce estimates, 12,5O0 of
the $4,000 miles Of airways will have
been lighted.

NEW FAST PLANE
FOR NEW YORK RUN
Curtiss Carrier Pigeon II De-
veIops Speed of 14o Miles
an Hour.

Tests of one Of the largest and fast
est air mail and air express cargo planes
yet built in this country are being COM
pleted by the National Air Transport at
Chicago. The planes will be used on
the New York Chicago section Of the
transcontinental air mail route.
The plane, known as the Curtiss Car
rier Pigeon II, has been tested with a
pay load of 1000 pounds at a high
speed Of lac miles per hour and a rate
Of climb of 800 feet per minute. The
plane Is powered with Curtiss Con-
querer, v type, water cooled, 12-cylin-
der engine developing 625 horsepower.
Propeller Is Adjustable.
A three-bladed adjustable propeller
Is used in connection with two-to-one
reduction gear. The cruising speed is
122 miles per hour.
The efficiency of the new Carrier
Pigeon Is due to skillful stream lining
of the entire plane. Aerodynamic EN-
cheney has been increased further by
the use of retractable landing lights,
which are drawn up into the wings
when not in use. The navigation lights
are built into the wing tips, and even
the tail skid has been stream lined.
Compartment FireprOOf.
The wing span is AZ feet 6 inches
and the length "a feet 61l inches, with
height of IS feet inches. The fire.
proof cargo compartment is constructed
entirely Of metal and has a capacity Of
125 cubic feet. This is made possible
by the monocoque construction of the
compartment leaving it free of in[Arior
distractions. The fuselage Is Of semi
monocoque construction in three units
one containing the engine mount, tho
second the cargo compartment and tho
third the pilots cockpit and tail Sec
tions.
The instruments and their arrange
ment on the board are of vital impor-
lance to the air mail pilot, who must
fly in all kinds of weather. The board
has been constructed so as to be readily
removable as unit for adjustments OF
repairs. The lights Illuminating the
dials are comfortable by rheostat fol-
brightness.
