Other mechanical features of the Mainliner include wing flaps, which arc lowered for landing to permit slower land ing speeds, hydraulic retractable landing gear, hydraulic brakes and five radio sets. These latter consist of a short wnve receiver for company messages, a long wave receiver for signals of the directional radio beam and gov ernment weather reports, a marker receiver for vertical sig nals of radio "fixes" along the airways, an auxiliary receiver and a transmitter. All Mainliners of United Air Lines follow the directional ra dio beam on their trips from point to point along the Pacific coast ana coast-to-cnast routes. As long as pilots are on course, they hear the beam as a steady dash signal. If they were to one side of the course, tills dnsh breaks up into a series of dot- dashes; If to the other side, it changes into a series of dush Uoti. Thus the pilots are Inform ed at all times of their position on the course and are able to correct Immediately for any dev iation. Another important aid is two-way radio communication with ground stations located at intervals all along the airways. A snake's teeth are pointed backward to prevent escape of animals captured for food. FIRST IMPRESSIONS STICK!
