ICe-Breaker Invented
For Plane Wings

Referring to the overShoe, Mr.
Geer said:
ut is so simple, I wonder why
I didn't think of 1t long ago. We
simply put this rubber OvershOe
on the leading edge Of the wings.
BY initiating this shoe or bag by
an air pump, the ice is broken
off in thin layers.
with the use of this equip
ment, together with a cap in
front of the propeller, airplanes
will be able to fly the Northern
Atlantic route to Europe with
safety so far AS the ice hazard
Is concerned"
BY chemically treating the outer
surface of a golf ball, Mr.. Geer
said he has been able to discard
white paint and make the coat
ing chemically white with a hard
surface.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. Is IN.
sJ.-An ice-breaker for airplane
wings and a painless golf
ball were pulled out of the magic
hat of science at the convention
of the American Institute OF
Chemical Engineers here yester-
day by William C. Geer, Of Ithaca,
N. Y.
Mr.. Geer, who retired from
business in 1925 to build his own
laboratory at Ithaca and play
with science, believes both are
practical. The ice-beraker or
"overShoe" for airplane wings
will make transatlantic airplane
flying safe over the hazardous
Northern route, he explained,
while the painless ball will solve
the golfers problem of keeping a
pellet white.
