Smaller Parachutes Are Made Safe by Cone in Center
Item
Departing from the usual design, a new-type parachute, much smaller than those used today by the army and navy, has been invented by Dr. Christian Volf. It is claimed to be safer and easier to control, since it descends more slowly than other ’chutes. One new feature is a cone of silk inverted in the center of the umbrella forcing the air to flow into it at greater speed, thus retarding the fall.
