Pleasant Grove Review | 1935-01-18 | Page 3 | Streamlining

I Streamlining Streamlining is based on the law of aerodynamics, discovery oi' which reversed preconceived Ideas of air resistance to solids. Formerly it was believed that a sharp pointed object would pass more rapidly through air. Aerodynamics has demonstrated that a blunt nosed object with a sharp end pointing backward creates less air resistance. resist-ance. When a sharp joint cleaves the air, air currents are thrust out and immediately return to drag at the moving objects from behind. A blunt nose shoves the air aside gently gen-tly and allows it to stream along the sides of the moving object and rei.ume Its course at tho rear without with-out aiiy drag. . '
