...Glenn Martin once had scores of B-26 bombers waiting on the field for propellers; Bell Aircraft waited weeks for Allison engines and 37-mm. aerial cannon; Lockheed for flight instruments. Such disbalances are mostly defects of organization, not materials, and are cured by experience. Output of air-cooled radial engines is now well ahead of schedule, and liquid-cooled production is stepping up fast...
...Almost all aircraft plants are partly or completely air-conditioned. At Wright Aeronautical's huge Lockland, Ohio plant, a 6,000-ton* conditioner helps keep parts of the 1,700-h.p. radial engines perfect to the closest tolerances. At Dallas, North American Aviation uses artificial weather in bomber assembly. Wright Field uses refrigeration units to test engines and planes at -67° F.; decompressors to simulate flying conditions...
...worth of 1,200-h.p. Pratt & Whitney radial engines, which Chevrolet and Buick hope to turn out at the rate of 2,000 a month...
Republic makes the only U.S. pursuit ship that uses an air-cooled radial engine. A year ago the Army, all out for liquid-cooled power, gave Republic only enough attention to keep it going. Then the Navy introduced its F4U Vought-Sikorsky fighter, a 2,000-h.p. radial job that could outfly any liquid-cooled Army ship on the line. Army interest in air-cooled pursuits was reawakened...
...Avenues, in the city's most congested quarter. Following many of the suggestions of the McMillan Commission, which revitalized neoclassic Washington in 1902 and revived the basic plan, Mellon proclaimed that he too built in the tradition of L'Enfant. But L'Enfant's broad, radial avenues were meant to siphon off horse-drawn traffic as handily as possible. MelIon's Triangle blocked off some streets, bunched the biggest buildings at points where few traffic-discharging arteries flowed...
