I Jones said costly experience in j other industries has proved that | ’the buying public reacts slowly j and cautiously to radical design j changes, and a period of transition j between the prewar and real postj war models should be desiraMe ; from many angles." He pointed 1 out that many designers and pseudo-designers indulging in th' famous indoor sport of postwar speculation on the shape of prod- ^ nets to come, picture the postwar refrigerator as a fantastic piece of i equipment. Some vision doors that raise, doors that drop and many ! other dream features. Jones agrees that a middle track is necessary to produce a practical piece of household equipment. Of i one thing he is sure. There must ! be ample space for frozen food in ! the postwar refrigerator, since the 1 trend towards that type of food is | definitely here.

| “The new 22-foot range," he explained, “is located at Elgin Field. Fla., where ordnance and Army air force engineers will test the effectiveness of big invasion guns in a man-m ide strato'-'phere 70 degrees

Through the use i sphere chamber,
air force designers soon will be able to study conditions which ordinarily could be observed only in actual combat, Maj. Gardner said. Designers must k • >w more aibout the effect that lack of oxygen and sub-zero weather have on detonation and projectile speed if they are to win in the contest to equifl highaltitude invasion Mmbers with larger and more deadly cannon and
machine guns.
According to air force observation, a modern stratosphere bomb-
er, swiftly rising fnvn sea level to 4i9.000 feet, endures a 140-degr"e drop in temperature. This drop in temperature causes a terrific shock contraction of -all metals, and it is impnrtant to know how thin affects
