MAILS FROM THE AIR
NEW PARACHUTE DESIGNED. (British Official Wireless. 1 RUGBY, April 28. It is stated that Air Ministry experiments are being made with two new types of parachute, for delivering mails and goods by aeroplane. One of these types is a high velocity parachute, which opens automatically after falling a predetermined distance. The other type opens at a predetermined distance from the ground. Both parachutes will probably be used, when perfected, to deliver letters and postal packages throughout Great Britain.
