"Iceland Destroyer" patrols the snow lanes
Contenuto
Built on a conventional bobsled chassis and having a body simulating a destroyer hull painted in gray with a red water line, this novel coaster will be a sensation on any hill. It consists mainly of thin but strong hard-pressed board, it is sturdy without excess weight, and will not splinter in case of a collision. The bottom and frame for the foredeck are made of 3/4-in. stock. Spruce strips running along the gunwales reinforce the hard-pressed board at these points. There should be a half-round rub rail on the outside. Steering is arranged in the usual manner, and the steering wheel should be smaller than a standard auto wheel. The funnel is built up of white-pine pieces glued together and trimmed to a curve, with plywood for the sides. Control room is made as shown, and the gun turret is hollowed and trimmed from one block of white pine. Ensigns can be mounted in the twin sockets on the transom.
