Flexible performance of C-47 transport planes is due in part to their two 1,200 horsepower radial engines and to their three-blade variable-pitch propellers, Long Beach, Calif. Picture taken at the Douglas Aircraft Company. The versatile C-47 performs many important tasks for the army. It ferries men and cargo across oceans and mountains, tows gliders and brings paratroopers and their equipment to scenes of action

Auto conversion to airplane engines. With one hundred percent conversion of this automobile factory to production of airplane engines, the gigantic task of remodelling old machinery, removal of old and installation of new equipment, and extensive rebuilding of the plant itself was formidable--but speedy. Under terms of its contract, production was not scheduled until October, but Herulean efforts of management and labor reduced this to early spring of this year. Carloads of scrap material torn out of the plant are shown here at a siding back of the factory. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York

Flame propogation in gas engines photographed. Washington, D.C., Aug. 26. A study of the mechanism of the flame propogation in the cylinder of a internal combustion engine is being made at the U.S. Bureau of Standards for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. A secial bomb made of steel, shown in the foreground, and designed to withstand pressures up to 500 lbs. to the square inch is used to show the progress of the flame and the rise in pressure which may be recorded photographically during the gas explosions under carefully controlled conditions. The camera, where the recordings are made, is in front of Dr. Ernest F. Flock of the Bureau of Standards, carries its film on a drum which may be revolved up to 4,000 revolutions per minute, this camera also records a neon light flashing at a thousandth of a second. The independent effects of pressure, temperature and charge composition upon flame speed and explosion ratio may be made with this equipment, 8/26/37
