Air Retriever To Be Tried By Navy
A Navy Nineteen twin-engine bomber will take off for Point Barrow Alaska to test a new air retrieval device designed to rescue people from difficult terrain. Invented by Robert Fulton of Connecticut, the system uses a Y shaped front fork, a helium balloon and a nylon line to snag and lift a person or equipment from ice or mountain sides. Tests report no discomfort from the 300 foot line as the balloon rises and the line catches the subject. A stray line about pompano ends this piece.
