...slow then, so the stream of cooling air is not so effective as it is later when the plane is flying faster but when the engine needs less cooling because it is throttled down. To meet these shifting conditions the NACA has devised a shifting cowling with two nose slots. Air enters around the propeller hub, flows back over the cylinders, then is turned forward and issues from a small slot running the entire circuit of the cowling front. A gearshift makes this slot movable, so that air pressure on the engine can be controlled and adjusted to any cooling...
...opening game they had a record crowd of more than 20,000. All New Orleans policemen, firemen and jobholders had prudently bought tickets. Mr. Weiss & friends have bought the Jacobs Candy Co. and merchants all over town are now pushing Jacobs Candy. Gambling joints, lottery shops and slot machines run vigorously, and visitors to New Orleans are surprised by the number of nickels (handy for slot machine use) which they are given everywhere in change. Such is New Orleans' present bliss...
...Toonerville Trolley, have open sides with seats facing out (which bothers women with short skirts on San Francisco's frequent gusty days). In the middle stands the gripman holding a lever like an oversized emergency brake.

When the gripman grips, the cable car moves steadily up the steepest hill, protected by three sets of brakes. Busiest cable car is the Powell Street line, starting on a turntable where...
...devised a satisfactory way to prevent the unique icing of ailerons which caused the crash of a Transcontinental & Western Air Douglas DC2 fortnight ago near Pittsburgh (TIME, April 5). Chief Engineer Arthur E. Raymond merely added a few inches to the underside of the wing in front of the slot where the ailerons hinge on. This reduces the flow of air through the slot, thus reduces the ability of ice to form at this crucial point. Simultaneously Douglas revealed that the DC2 is the only important U. S. transport requiring this change in design. Boeing 247-Ds, Lockheed Electras, Douglas...
...went well and his arm was still infact until he came to a package from the University of Masulipatsam, India. After dropping if in the slot he heard a lend crack and the sound of splinging weed, tollened by an avalanche of packages and wood on the other side of the deer. Rearing an explosion he hastily dumped the rest of his lead and left the building an mail...
