For use by U. S. Army officers when on maneuvers, a collapsible easy-chair, designed by Chaplain Herbert E. Rieke of the 33rd Pursuit Group at Mitchel Field, N. Y., can be assembled and set up in the field in a few minutes, or quickly dismantled to form a packing box for carrying. A few of them are in use at Mitchel Field. Like a conventional parlor chair, it has leather-covered cushions in seat and back, being made of ordinary pine boards joined with bolts and screws. The hinged back is detachable by sliding hinge pins. The front end of each arm is hinged to a supporting board, and both are removable and fold together for packing. With the arms and back removed, the rest of the chair becomes a crate into which the cushions, back and arm units may be placed. A large number of the chairs can be transported in a relatively small space.
