Tests Seek To Develop Standard Mail Plane
Chicago July 4. Eight new airplane types are tested on the Monmouth Maywood air mail experimental track to develop a standard mail plane. All metal monoplanes like the Ford series carry 1000 pounds or more of mail while others such as Carrier Pigeon Mercury World Cruiser Boeing Huff Deland and Cox Clement offer similar capacity. Present De Havilland types carry about 600 pounds due to cubic space limits. Army biplanes at 3 miles a minute have unsettled aerial postmen with 100 mile hour speeds.
