Milos, then the army chief of staff, recommended that five cavalry regiments be converted into an automobile corps. In 1900 Davidson designed car to carry a Colt automatic gun. Two cars of this design were built that year in the manual training shops of the acad' emy. They made several trips, one as far as Washington, D.

MILITARY METAL MEN Getting the planes that come limping home from raids, punctured and pierced by enemy bullets, reconditioned and back into the air again In the quickest possible time is one of the big jobs of the army air forces. The men largely responsible for accomplishing this task are the sheet metal workers and welders who are trained in the schools of the army air forces technical training command. The aircraft metal workers and aircraft welders schools turn out the men who do just those things under almost any conditions. As one old technical sergeant puts it, "Do the job when ail you have is what you can pick up and run like hell with. Both metal workers' and welders courses start with the same basic instruction, in the channels through which the army maintenance work is done, the cataloging of parts, the fundamentals of mechanical drawing, and the use of basic hand tools. When the courses separate, the metal worker branches into the elements of sheet metal work, its acterlstic tools and how to use them.
