Fuel Exhausted
when we landed we were start
ing to run out of fuel" Gromos
said.
His companions, Andrei B. Yu-
masheff and Sergei Danilin, joined
him in describing the flight from
Moscow.
THE most dangerous part of the
flight was the takeoff when we had
to make long run to get into the
air with a heavy fuel load, but this
made possible the exceptionally long
flight.
"The second danger was when in
the air one hour and a half we
ran into two cyclones at that time
The third time we ran into a cy-
clone between Rudolph island and
the North Pole. We also were in
danger when ice formed on the
ships wings. But we overcame this
by increasing our altitude" Gromov
said.
I'VE did not give our position or
report on the trip down the North
American coast because it was OF
no interest to us what people
thought since we knew we were
achieving our objective and getting
where We wanted to go.
Il had to use our OXYGEN tank
supply for 26 hours because of the
rare atmosphere in high altitude.
We flew high most of the way.

world records. One on straight line
flying and the other on a jagged
course.

applied has r.dch to do with the way
they rate on some kinds OF brake
testing equipment. Quite an elabor-
ate system for securing a good brake
reaction has been developed as q re-
suit OF this discovery. Some cars
which pass brake inspection would
go of the road during a sudden ap-
plication Of the brakes, II their drivers
did not remember to make suitable
and immediate compensation in steer
ing.
Millions Of drivers simply do not
have the skill necessary to Offset the
misbehavior Of their aling cars, with
the result that accidents continue at
an alarming rate. The cars are not
given suEcient blame. According to
clearer view OF the accident stu
alton the safer course Is to stop try
ing to educate drivers toward better
handling of ailing cars, but to insist
upon first of all putting their cars in
better shape. Then even mediocre
driving will be less hazardous. And
good driving will produce greatly de-
sired results.
The problem is not so much the
elimination OF the "junker" which is
so obviously hazardous that its driver
handles it with the utmost caution.
Singled out for special criticism is the
car which looks well, and which even
may test satisfactorily, but which has
just enough weak points to require
too much skill Of its driver. The
danger in all this lies in the fact
that usually the driver does not know
how much more the ailing car Is
dependent on his skill.
Inspections should always include a
check-up on the condition OF the
shock absorbers and the fluid supply
in the hydraulic braking system. With.
out proper spring control cars are
likely to sway badly on curves, thus
increasing the tendency toward skid.
ding and upsettine. Properly serviced
shock absorbers also play an important
role in stabilizing steering The i'm
portance Of keeping up a full supply
OF brake fluid is obvious. Not 80
obvious, however. is the fact that
manly CdlS are IOunu 10 De on the
verge of being low on the brake fluid
supply.
Strict as we must be with the driver
the situation clearly calls for being
much less lenient with the car itself
A workman cannot succeed with poor
tools. If the trend in safety thought is
definitely coming around to decision
to tighten up on inspections it is be-
cause there is more respect for the
simple fact that the job Of driving
is too serious these days to risk being
handicapped with poor equipment.
