...Club, was enjoying a ride in the forward cockpit of a two-seater Curtiss-Wright Junior one day last week over Hartford, Conn. when suddenly the motor quit, the plane's nose pulled up steeply. Sam Levin had enough experience in gliders to know that a stall, a spin, probably a crash were imminent. He glanced hastily backward at Pilot Frederick T. Hawes seated in the rear cockpit just forward of the pusher-type motor. Pilot Hawes's eyes were half closed, his tongue protruded. He was being strangled by his scarf which was being wound around...
...Madison Square Garden. He usually manages to find them, misses every two or three months. The Codona Brothers* have been holding hands for over 20 years, have been grabbing at each other after Alfredo's triple somersault several times a week since their first public exhibition of the spin in Chicago's Coliseum...
...Hatlestad model has a conventional propeller, but in place of wings there are freely spinning horizontal rotors 14 in. long and 2 in. in diameter. The rotor is composed of two semicircular vanes on an axis-in cross section shaped like the letter S. As the plane moves forward, air pressure causes the rotor to revolve backward. That action, combined with the forward movement, produces low pressure on top of the rotor, increased pressure (lift) on the bottom. If the motor should quit the rotor continues to spin in descent, the lift force stretching the plane's course into...
...correct. Harvard must soon succumb to the rebirth of the cycling fad. Then will Dunster forfeit the grandeur of isolation, and then, too, will Jefferson and Mallinckrodt be near enough the Charles to permit Winthrop and Eliot to breakfast in leisure. Radcliffe and Harvard will take a Sunday afternoon spin on a "bicycle built for two," while the more ambitious undergraduate will in one short hour pedal to Wellesley. If Harvard is to be Anglicized, the process may as well as not be complete. The Master of Lowell has set a noble example: may all Harvard bravely follow his lead...
...Blue Bird towed to the end of the course, 40 yd. wide and nine miles long with the measured mile in the centre, the sand was still rough and strewn with shells. Sir Malcolm's left wrist, sprained on the gearshift in a 240-m.p.h. trial spin last fortnight, was still sore. A thin dangerous haze had not entirely disappeared when Sir Malcolm decided he could wait no longer...
