| "In this
apparatus, originally designed to thrill thousands of Fair-going
pleasure seekers but now converted to the grim business of war, each man
will make 5 controlled descents.
After that, at another tower where the
regular harness has been substituted for the chair, each man will be
hauled up and dropped four times.
Then, still later, will come three
"free jumps", all preparatory to the real jump from the
plane."
