BIG WIND TUNNEL UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY ENGINEERING SCHOOL.—These pictures indicate the size of the structure being erected for use in aircraft-model testing late next year. LEFT: Mr D.C. Stevenson, senior lecturer in mechanical engineering, and Mr E. Retallick, senior technician, stand in front of the 7ft fan, which will produce winds up to 140 miles an hour. The steel members show the dimensions of the main tunnel. RIGHT: The whole assembly. The fan is in the casing at lower left. Wind will pass along the tunnel to the right, up to the higher level, and then back along the top. The working section where models will be tested will be in the gap at the head of the stairs.
