PARACHUTE factories, of which there are five in the United States, are humming to fill Government orders for 40,000 ’chutes to be delivered by June 30 for Uncle Sam's sky soldiers and our rapidly expanding aviation personnel. Despite a speed-up of about 500 percent, each ’'chute is inspected six times during manufacture, again before acceptance by the Army or Navy, and finally drop-tested with a dummy from a plane. Both Chinese and Japanese silk is used, with Nylon as a possible substitute.
