SAFETY WEAR FOR AERONAUTS

Fickers! Flickers! Flickers!

HIGH LEVEL FLICKERS

“He that is down need fear no fall,”
Fear not! You will fall lightly as down!

Hansen’s air-kits are down in all respects. Tremendous reductions in prices previous to winter stocking. Pure para kit with cellulose seat and shoulder-pads, weighted to balance. Unequalled for all drop-work.

Our trebly resilient heavy kit is the ne plus ultra of
comfort and safety.

Gas-buoyed, waterproof, hail-proof, nonconducting Flickers with pipe and nozzle fitting all types of generator. Graduated tap on left hip.

The new weighted Flicker with tweed or cheviot surface cannot be distinguished from the ordinary suit till inflated.

Fickers! Flickers! Flickers!

APPLIANCES FOR AIR PLANES

————————————————
What
“SKID”
was to our forefathers on the ground,
“PITCH”
is to their sons in the air.

The popularity of the large, unwieldy, slow, expensive Dirigible over the light swift, Plane is mainly due to the former’s immunity from pitch.

Collison’s forward-socketed Air Van renders it impossible for any plane to pitch. The C.F.S. is automatic, simple as a shutter, certain\ as a power hammer, safe as oxygen. Fitted to any make of plane.

STARTERS AND GUIDES

Hotel, club, and private house plane-starters, slips and guides affixed by skilled workmen in accordance with local building laws.

Rackstraww’s forty-foot collapsible steel starters with automatic release at end of travel–prices per foot run, clamps and crampons included. The safest on the market.

REMEMBER

Planes are swift–so is Death
Planes are cheap–so is Life

Why does the plane builder insist on the safety of his machines?
Methinks the gentleman protests too much.

The Standard Dig Construction Company do not build kites.

They build, equip and guarantee dirigibles.

REMEMBER!

* It is now nearly, a generation since the Plane was to supersede the Dirigible for all purposes. * TO-DAY none of the Planet’s freight is carried en plane. * Less than two per rent of the Planet’s passengers are carried en plane.
