Mr. Allen says: "We have been Informed that the new Plymouth automobile will also embody the same outstand ing features of refinement and me-' chanlcal construction as shown in the nsw Dodge.

(UP) A new type of glider wing, stronger s.nd lighter than the conventional type, has beta de veloped by 'three University of De troit student engineers, working In the aeronautical laboratories, who submitted It as a thesis for their en gineering degrees. Norman L. wtllett won the Society of Automotive engineers annual gold medal for his part In the work with John P. Pahl. Tiffin. Ohio, and Wil liam P. Sherman. Detroit. New Censtruvtlon Incorporating a load -resisting con struction not previously used in air craft wings, the wing also has a fold ing attachment that will permit It to be folded close to the fuselage for storage and transportation to soaring contests. The 45-foot tapering wings class it as a soaring glider or sail-; plane. ( According to calculations, the glider; will fly on a path with a glide ratio of ISA to 1, compared to the normal airplane glide of approximately 10 feet forward for each foot descent. Cltin to II u I Id Glider The glider, partially built by the designers, will be completed by the U. of D. Glider club, and will be ready for flight in a few months. Willett pointed out that the most common type of wing structure is one In which two beams are used to re sist the principal loads imposed by the air. In the new U. of D. gilder there Is only one main supporting spar and attached behind it 1b a secondary type of beam known as a sesqil-spar. This part of the structure is a single light steel tube and It Is attached to the main spar by a train of steel- tube triangles which transmit loads from the rear of the wing. The structure has the Important function of resisting the torsion which acts on the wing in a nose dive. Because both the main spar and the sesqul-spar are rigidly at tached by the triangle of steel tubes, they must deflect equally and in the same direction, despite opposite loads acting together on the wing. .
