Landing Gear for Planes Aircraft ground loops may be eliminated almost entirely within the next 5 to 10 years with the so called caster landing gear devel oped under sponsorship of Civil Aeronautics administration, it is predicted by Marshall E.

The tension is such that the wheels stay straight until any abnormal stress is placed on the landing gear. First planes equipped with an ap proved castered wheel landing gear are expected to appear this year.

In aluminum and tin the browning is less rapid and usually more even. | ■ _ More Minerals for U. S. According to Bureau of Mines, the : U.
