NEW PLANE FOR LINDBERGH HAS MANYFEATIIRES Completely Equipped Tour Passenger Craft Nears Completion. With nearly 80,000 miles of flying to Its credit, the famous Spirit of St Louis soon is to be retired by Colonel Lindbergh in favor of a larger, but similarly designed ship. B. P. Mahoney, the man who built the Spirit of St. 'Louis and has nearly completed its successor here describes the new plane to be flown by the greatest aviator. BY B. F. MAHONEY SAN DIEGO, Cal., Colonel i Lindbergh soon will fly anew monoplane duplicating in essential respects the Spirit of St. Louis. In this plane he will be able to carry four passengers with a far greater degree of visibility than his famous trans-Atlantic plane permits. Colonel Lindbergh will be the first to test-fly his new plane, now nearing completion* here. He was the first and only man to pilot the Spirit of St. Louis. One should not think him foolhardy in this. He is a scientist and wishtes to learn firsthand what to expect from a flying machine. Made for Night Trips In flying his new plane the Colonel also will test several new features embodied in it. Primarily the plane is built for night flying. That is, it is so equipped that Colonel Lindbergh can use it for long night trips. Three types of lights have been provided for this purpose. First, ordinary running lights have been installed. These warn any other planes in the air of the presence of this particular ship. Second, landing lights are hidden in the leading edge of the wing near the tips. Controls from the pilot’s cabin permit these to be opened when landing at night. When lighted they throw a strong light on the field ahead and permit the plane to advance much in the manner of an automobile traveling a well-lighted highway at night. Flares Add Safety Third, magnesium flares have been installed. These are- located in the floor of the fusilage about midway between the nose and tail. Colonel Lindbergh controls the release of these from his place forward. The value of these flares may be visualized readily. Suppose the Colonel were flying at night and wished to land at some spot where no lights were provided. By releasing one of these flares at, say, a 5,000-foot elevation, the light would spread brilliantly over an area of ten square miles. These lights descend beneath parachutes which open automatically when the flare drops from the plane. In addition to these lights, other new developments embodies in this plane include brakes on the wheels,

His instruments, mounted on a panel just forward of the pilot, include an altimeter, tachometer, air speed meter, oil pressure and temperature gauges, gasoline gauge, lights, turn and bank indicators and a flight indicator.

Airmen have been known to lose their sense of equilibrium in flight under some conditions, such as flying in a storm. By glancing at this instrument board, however, Colonel Lindbergh can note immediately how many degrees the nose of his plane is

pointed upward or downward from a horizontal line. One thought should be made clear: Colonel Lindbergh did not desire a racing plane. He wanted a closed, cabin type plane with a longer cruising radius than is ordinarily available. He added gasoline tankage foj; this purpose, and that of course increased the weight ot the plane. Because of the added weight, more wing area was demanded. TWO SETS OF TRIPLETS GREENSBURG. Pa.. March 23 - A sextet of triplets brighten the home of Michael Garrity.
