APPLIANCES FOR AIR PLANES
What
"SKID"
was to our forefathers on the ground,
"PITCH"
is to their sons in the air.
The popularity of the large, unwieldy, slow, expensive Dirigible overthe light, swift Plane is mainly due to the former's immunity frompitch.
Collison's forward-socketed Air Van renders it impossible for any planeto pitch. The C. F. S. is automatic, simple as a shutter, certain as apower hammer, safe as oxygen. Fitted to any make of plane.

=Planes are swift--so is Death= =Planes are cheap--so is Life=
_Why_ does the 'plane builder insist on the safety of his machines?
Methinks the gentleman protests too much.
The Standard Dig Construction Company do not build kites.
They build, equip and guarantee dirigibles.
