Bomber Control Gables
Now Plated with Armor

PARIS - UH - The control
cables in American bombers are
now being protected by 'armor
plating, the u. S. Air Technical
service Command disclosed
here. The additional armor is
designed to keep shell fragments
from severing the cables and
thus throwing the aircraft out Of
control.
The armor protects the control
cables on one side by armor
plate shields while the other side
Is protected by the airplane
bulkheads. This shields them
from direct hits as well as frag-
ments and prevents delayed
cannon shells from injuring the
cables from inside the plane.
The shields also prevent shell
cases and links elected from tur-
ret guns from lodging between
the control cables and bulk
heads.
