VTO Full Scale Medel And T4O Engine At Pewerana A full size model of the U. S. Navy’s Convair XFY-1 vertical takeoff fighter which is powered by an Allison T4O turbo-prop engine will b° on display at the Chicago Powerama. This display also will show pictures of this plane’s unprecedented flight on November 2, 1954 at Brown Naval Auxiliary Station, San Diego, Calif. Convair test pilot J. F. “Skeets” Coleman climbed to 175 feet altitude and nosed the XFY-1 over into horizontal flight. Following two speed dashes across the field, Coleman again went into vertical position and backed the 500 mile per hour fighter down for a landing on its tail. -At intrevals each day a pilot will explain the specialized problems that the pilot of this aircraft, the manufacturer of its engine and the manufacturer of the plane itself had to face before successful vertical flight could be attained. He also will explain the fight pro. file of the VTO. Along with the VTO will be the T4O engine which powers this aircraft. A turbo-prop engine of this type operates like a jet except that the expanding gases are converted to shaft horsepower and used to drive a propeller which gives the airplane its main propulsive force.

LINK-BELT CRANE DISPLAY AT POWERAMA Visitors to the GM Powerama will have an opportuity to see for themselves the advantages of the Allison Torqmatic Converter over the friction clutch method of operating a crane. Spectators will be allowed to operate a Link-Belt crane by moving an 800-pound ball up and down. Two methods will be used by each viewer. First, he will operate the crane by a friction lock-up clutch which will be installed in the Allison converter. Then he will operate the crane using only the TCDA-445 Converter. Each “operator” will find out how easy it is to put the ball where he wants it with the converter. He will have fingertip control over the huge weight at all times and will be able to stop the ball where he wants it with mathematical precision. However, the “amateur” probably will have trouble maneuvering the ball by the lock-up friction clutch method. This crane will be almost 60 feet high and will have a lifting capacity of 15,000 pounds.

“Hints on Health” By A KNOCK-OUT Pugilists win by a knock-out to the jaw. Tetanus toxoid has knocked out lockjaw. Before this immunizing agent, tetanus was fatal more often than not. During World War I, when tetanus antitoxin after injury was the only preventive measure available, there were 70 cases of tetanus. In World War 11, with active immunization against tetanus, plus a booster dose of toxoid after injury, there were but twelve cases, in spite of the fact that the number of admissions for wounds and injuries were about five and a half times as great. In Korea during 1950, there was but one case of tetanus in a soldier who was not completely immunized —and he did not die. Tetanus is caused by a germ, which enters through a wound and produces a poison in the body which causes painful contraction of the muscles of the jaw and neck, and later the rest of the body. Prevention of tetanus is now available by means of tetanus toxoid, with prompt medical attention to penetrating wounds. Tetanus toxoid is given routinely to men in the Armed Forces and to all accident patients brought to hospitals. In this day of machines in the home, shop and on the farm and the economy of cost of this immunizing agent, every person should be immunized against tetanus. Then if a penetrating wound is suffered, a small booster shot will suffice in preventing this devastating disease. Children and adults subjected to penetrating wounds or to soilcontaminated wounds, should be given this lifesaving tetanus toxoid.

BRIEF HISTORY OF ALLISON Allison history begins in 1913 when James A. Allison, a financier and sportsman, and one of the owners of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, gathered together 20 engineer-mechanics and put them to wors on three teams of racing cars. Four years later the United States was thrown into a war and Mr. Allison offered the facilities of his company to the war effort. The shop dropped its race car activities and began making tools and fixtures for the famous Liberty engine. Allison was initiated into the aircraft engine industry at this time and'has been a leader in it ever since.

Allison led the world in development of an engine officially qualified at 1000 horsepower. Today’s Allison turbo-jet and turboprop engines are setting new standards for dependability and durability with individual engines producing more than 15,000 horsepower. Current production engines in the Allison family, include the J 33 centrifugal flow turbo-jet engine which powered the Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star, the first United States production jet fighter. This engine now powers the USAF Martin Matador and the Navy’s Chance Vought Regulus, both guided missies, and the Lockheed T-33 and TV-2 trainers. Newest and most powerful of Allison turbo-jet engines, the J7l powers the USAF’S twin engine Douglas RB- 6 6 reconnaissance bomber and B-66 tactical bomber and the Navy’s McDonnell F3H Demon, a carrier based fighter. It also powers the Navy’s multi-jet seaplane, the Martin XP6M Seamaster. In the 10,000 pound thrust class, the J7l develops more thrust per square foot of frontal area than any jet engine ever produced. The Allison T 56, now in production for the new four-engine Lockheed C-130 Hercules, is the most advanced turbo-prop engine available anywhere today. It develops 2.3 horsepower for each pound of engine weight and recently completed the most exacting 150-hour military model test ever required of a propeller type engine. # On the basis of the successful completion of this test and the fulfillment of other requirements prescribed by the Civil Aeronautics Administration, this engine received CAA certification for commercial operation. The commercial counterpart of the T 56 is designated the Allison 501. After World War 11, Allison was given the job of designing a torque converter for application to heavy-duty power equipment. Torqmatic Drive, designed by Allison engineers, is now providing the “quick-shift” features of modern passenger cars to an entire family of military and commercial vehicles weighing up to 60 tons.

Torqmatic Drive is helping operators do more work for less cost in the earth moving industry, in the oil fields, in rail and bus transportation, in quarries and on water and has proved its worth on the battle fields of Korea. The Allison Division manfactures torque converters, heavy duty TG transmissions, rail car transmissions, GMC Coach transmissions, two Ordnance transmissions and Marine gears. Allison also manufactures parts for the famous GM Diesel locomotive. Twelve percent of the total weight of these vehicles comes from the Allison Division. At its Aeroproducts plant in Dayton, Ohio, Allison is designing and building huge turbo-pro-pellers and actuators. Also produced in this plant are hydraulic starters for deisel engines, identified as “Aerodraulic starters.” Running through the history of the Allison Division has been the silver thread of a pioneering bearing development. Bearings, Allison’s longest-time product in continuous production, now are produced in the world’s only fully automatic steel - backed bearing foundry. Significant facts about the Allison organizations are: 1. Allison engines powered 69 percent of all USAF jet fighter sorties during the Korean conflict. 2. Allison employs more than 17,000 in Indianapolis and Dayton, Ohio. 3. Allison plants cover more than five million square feet of floor space. 4. Allison was first to accumulate 6,000*000 total flying hours on turbo-jet engines. 5. Allison was first to power a vertical-takeoff fighter. 6. Allison was first to produce 25,000 turbo-jet engines. 7. Allison is the world’s largeest manufacturer of heavy-duty automatic transmissions. 8. Allison has compiled more flying time on propellers for turbo-prop engines than any other American manufacturer. JOB'S DAUGHTER'S SKATING PARTY MONDAY. SEPT. It. 7tM pan. ROLLER RONDO

Kay Brothers and Polly Stamm want us to tell you that there is definitely going to be a fall Merchandise Club, and that they will announce the opening in a very short while . . . maybe next week . . . in time so that the Club can help Christmas shoppers as it has done in years past. Mrs. Mary Geiman will be treasurer of the new club. Mixed Bowling League of St. Christopher starts Sunday, September Uth. If interested contact Barney Rosner, Herbert Grande or Louie Grande. We would like to borrow Mildred Cram’s thought on How to Wake Up Happy ... to waken each day with a purpose. Why not wake up each morning with the purpose that we are going to church and receive Holy Communion and stay for Mass, if time permits. Do not wait until we retire, although that is a beautiful and peaceful thought on which to retire, but begin now. Why not be happy right now each morning? Pray daily your Rosary for peace in the world.
