NEW LIFEBELT
An Austrian music teacher, Herr Josef Eschner, has invented a new device which will save lives in air accidents It is a new type of parachute which opens unfailingly and almost at once, so that it is safe to jump from a plane when it is as low at 200 ft. At a demonstration at Ford Aerodrome, in Sussex, the new parachute was seen to open smoothly and then make a slow descent so that an easy landing was possible. Other parachutes can be cheaply adapted to give similar results.
