Light Plane Ski Attachment
Perfected by Lebanon Men
Lebanon A wheel and ski attachment to lit any light private
airplane, has been perfected and its use demonstrated this week,
announced Walter Bowman, field manager at Cascade Airways.
It followed two years of experimentation.
The unit was devised by Ellis Hallman and Jesse Parrish, shop
men ai me vasi-due Airways
under the supervision of Bowman.-
The ski-wheel attachment was
successfully tried Saturday af
ternoon. Designers say the unit
will fit any ship up to 1500
pounds gross 4 weight. It takes
less than 60 seconds to .either
attach or detach from the plane.
Larger versions are planned
for heavier ships, including Na
vion, Fairchild and Stinson.
The working unit weighs nine
pounds, six less than the wheels
which it replaces. Each ski is
approximately four feet long
and has two small wheels which

lower for landing on hard sur
faces. The wheels are retracted
when landing or taking off in
snow.
At present the wheels are
manually operated, but Bow
man said they planned to in
stall a hydraulic unit for low
ering and raising wheels which
can be operated from the ship's
cabin. The hydraulic unit will
add only an additional half
pound to the overall weight.
In lest flights by Bowman
the ski-equipped Piper Cub
took off as quickly on the skis
as it did on regular wheels. In
landing, the pilot was able to
halt the ship much faster. The
plane was stopped safely inside
75 feet.
Bowman pointed out addition
al safety factors about the in
vention. It allows the plane to
land on any type of runway
which regular wheels could be
used upon, plus several other
types of terrain, including
plowed fields, landing strips
having both cleared and snow
covered spots upon them, and
areas covered with heavy
grasses.
The designers announced their
intentions to conduct extensive
tests in the near future, and
then will manufacture the units
on a limited scale at Cascade
Airways.

From Murder
Columbus, O., Dec. 21 (U.R)
A Kansas City ex-convict with
a record "three pages long" told
police today he wanted to stay

jail than out." He is wanted tot
questioning in connection with
the slayings of gang leader Char
les Gargota and political leader
Charles Bingaggio in a Kansas
City Democratic club earlier this
year.
Authorities said Steele is the
president of the Retail Clerks
association, local 782, of Kansas
City. He left that city about
Sept. 3, coming to Columbus
where he lived in 1920.
Steele was arrested here Dec.

larceny. Detective Sergeant Her
man Beck said he was question
ed about the theft of a sewing
machine from the home at which
he had rented a room.
