PLASTIC PLYWOOD PLANES
As Durable As Metal
TORONTO, November 14.
Dr. Bigelow, of Toledo, addressing a meeting of the Society of Mechanical Engineers, said that planes made of plastic plywood were every bit as durable as metal-constructed machines. By using plasties for fuselages, wings, and tails in plane assemblies, there was a greater increase in production as well as a sharp decrease in costs. He added that plastic planes would become an important factor in Canadian aircraft production.
