Newspaper Page TextA MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD, ORE. THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1910 Patents Reveal Future Items of Convenience Washington Science Serv ice) The landing space re quired by the Jet aircraft of the future may be less, thanks to a means of reversing the direction of thrust of a Jet en gine just patented here. This Invention won one of the 976 patents granted Inst week, for Edgar P. Peregrine of Royston, Eng., who as signed it to Bristol Aero En gines Ltd. The device consists of a valve which closes off the duct through which the Jet Eases pass and channels them around to provide a thrust In the onnosite direction. The valve consists of two (or more) segments which open and close like the beuk of a bird so that, when open, they fit flush with the walls of the duct, and, when closed, they seal off the duct completely. Points Upstream ' The "beak" points up stream so that the pressure of the Jet holds It closed. The aj WHILE THEY LAST!

At the same time corresponding sections swing out from the outside surface of the plane to complete the side ducts so that the jets are now directed back in the di rection of the plane's motion to provide a braking effect. A vertically collapsible trailer to be towed behind a car also won a patent. The inventor, Vilas L, Sny der of Wichita, Knns., ex plains that his mobile home may be expanded when used for "sleeping or cooking or any other purpose for which trailer houses arc designed," and may be contracted for travel for less wind resist ance, less obstruction to vis Ion, a lower center of gravity, and greater stability. Sections Raised, Lowered The trailer Is made In three vertically telescoping sections which are raised or lowered by means of a cable and pul ley system operating through a winch. Also patented this week were an improved baseball bat, a flip-top cigarette box with a built-in ash receptacle and a multiple smoke signal unit. Clarence L. Paullus, Colum bus, Ohio, points out that baseball bats often chip and split after prolonged use. A player often has to discard his bat just when he has be come well used to it. Invents Bat To prevent this chipping, Paullus has invented a bat In which a series of strips of very hard wood are let into the striking surface of the bat so as to be parallel to the length of the bat and perpen dicular to the layering of the wood. The patent was as signed to Hillerich and Brads- by company, Louisville, Ky There will be no excuse for getting cigarette ash on the carpet should some forward- looking manufacturer adopt the idea of Clyde A., Richard O., and Donald G. Peel of Spring Lake, Mich. They have designed a flip-top box in which the side also flips out to form an ash receptacle. Another form of smoking Is the subject of a patent issued to Bruce E. Del Mar, Los An. geles, and assigned to Del Mar Engineering Laboratories Inc., also of Los Angeles, The in vention is a multiple smoke signal an airborne smoke bomb that contains a number of smoke captures which may be set to be released in a pre determined sequence as mili tary signals. Other Inventions Other inventions patented here this week include a side mounted rear view mirror with an automatic wiper for trucks, a means of coating mo vie screens with lead carbo nate crystals to give brighter pictures, a hair drying cap knitted with covered heating element which plugs into the electric circuit, and an under water camera husing which, the Inventor claims, maybe adapted so as to fit virtually any 33mm camera.

Army tankem are lighting deadly erlou battlea with toy-lze tanka on a miniature battlefield. The mock combat at the U. S. Army Armor Center hero could mean the difference be tween life and death to tho tankera In any conflict, Amid the realistically aim ulated aounda of exploding mlnea, gunfire, crisp ordera and the metallic whine of radio-controlled tanir armored battles are waged dally on a miniature battle field 26 by 76 feet. The amall-scalo battle area la complete with mountain!, rivers, foresta, buildings and other features tha't might be encountered under actual combat conditions. Two cur tains divide the "battlefield" Into the approximate distance a platoon leader might be able to see If he were actually engaging an enemy. The tank Dlatoon IpaHor onH hla crew of IS men are seated in compartments on a mov able platform which rides sev eral feet above the terrain board. The platoon leader'i commands are transmitted by raaio to tne tank crews who ODerate five mlnlatum tnnba and fire electronic-eye tank guns. Each of tHe platform's five compartments simulate! th inside of a tank and accom modates three men - a gun ner, driver and commander. A tank crew nnrmnllv mn. sista of four men but the gun loaded la eliminated from the training exercise because the tanka are electronically fired. At the other enri nl th. building is an "enemy" force ready to give battle with a similar numhAr v tanlrs TUm curtains open as the opposing lorces oi tanks advance, al lowing the teams to work out the simulated combat nrnh. lems. P'atoon leaders are scored . on the methods by which they attempt solution of the tacti cal problems. Scoring Is based on wnai u considered tne best solution to the problem. After each battle Is con cluded the tankers are briefed on any errors they might have maoe, and otner ways in which the engagement might nave neen lougm. The project la the work of Dr. Robert A. Baker, senior research scientist for the Ar more Human Research Unit. Baker exnlafnivl that th scale-model battlefield gives rf ir-or anil ptaivi b phnnp to engage In live platoon training without ffnfnc fntn me iieio. mis metnoo, ne ulri f nnt a vnhcHtuHrtn frtr field exercises but will be used in conjunction with ac tual maneuvers. "It is our hone to tparh combat Initiative," he said. '"rhere Is t. natural tendency to hang back and we want to overcome anv lack of ag gressiveness."
