The airplane is held in nosition by four hinged arms with braces like cantilevers. Two of these press against plates on the boat hull, and the other two fit into slots forward on the hull and beneath the wing, When the machine starts into mo- -' tion, these last two drop. This leaves only the two in the rear to propel the airplane along the t' greased runway. The pump which loads the air' compressor is powered by a Diesel motor.

Next spring the Germans intend to try the catapult with even larger ships. They will make 24 cross- ings to South America and return with planes of the Dornier type, which will take off from catapults. The catapult is a scientific development of the siege weapon, from which it takes its name, that was used in ancient times. The one aboard the Schwabenland is 126 feet overall. It is mounted on the port side of the ship, with the take-of- f flush with the stern. Even the mountainous waves of the North Atlantic do not put it out of commission, for the ship carries a great sheet of canvas whic.i is spread out over rough waters to make them lie flat and permit operation. This apron lies about a foot or two under the water and extends from the stern of the ship about 40 feet.

There is a great crane on the starboard side of the Schwabenland, from which lines are dropped into the water. The mechanism which controls these lines causes them to rise and fall in time with the waves.

Six steel cables are wound around a drum which forms the end of the inKottas, turns the ship stern-firs- t to the wind and puts the engines in reverse so that the Schwabenland has some sternway. There are three instruments called anomometers which tell the crew when the wind is right for a take-off- . One is located atop the after mast, one is mounted on the stern and the third is located near the ship about to begin its flight. The motor of the plane is running, of course, and when the pilot is ready to depart he "gives her the gas" and the engine starts to roar. A light flashes on the nose of his plane. Allow Plane Full Load. This is where the fireworks begin. There is a great flash of flame and a cloud of smoke. In the twinkling of an eye the plane is away, dropping never a foot off the stern. Trailing behind are the hiss of escaping air and the smell of burning oil. Transoceanic flying has passed out of the "stunt" stage. It is not even very dangerous any more. The treacherous North Atlantic has been flown three times in the last month, twice by a radio crooner and his pilot and once by a woman. By contrast the Alcock - Brown flight of 17 years ago was one of the most colossal pieces of sheer luck imaginable. They tossed about in the gale for hours, often dipping nearly into the sea, without navigaor radio, and tion instruments crashed without being hurt upon their landing in Ireland. The South Atlantic was flown the first time by Cabral and Couthino in 1922.

Remaining aloft for 33 Mi hours and traveling 3.600 miles in one uneventful hop, Lindbergh probably did more than anyone else to convince the public that flying was a safe and coming thing.
