Airplane equipment. There are several kinds of airplanes osed in the military service and their ■equipment varies according to whether "they are intended chiefly for scouting, •for bomb dropping or for gun fighting. On most of the machines of the test named or battleship type, a machine gun is so fitted as to point along the exls of the machine. The pilot, who is alone, directs the nose of his airplane at the enemy and. fires across the propeller. Two plans were tried for preventing the propeller from being broken by the bullets. The first consisted of stopping the machine gun whenever the propeller ,came within the field of fire, but experience showed that frequent stopping of the gun with the propellers making 1,200 revolutions a minute ends in.-putting the gun out of order. Designers then placed steel plates on those parts of the propellers likely to be struck and these plates turn the bullets that strike the propeller. It is mathematically calculated that- only one bullet la 18 Is wasted! in ■ that way. T <
