light enough to be carried to their
sites in some of the planes that will
use them, and as easily erected as a
circus tent, are being made for use in
combat zones and at remote strategic
points. Set down complete with all
building equipment, the parts can be
put up quickly by unskilled labor and
dismantled as readily for removal else-
where as the occasion demands. Steel
trusses supporting a flameproofed can-
vas roof and sides are in the form of
three-hinged arches, to allow both for
unevenness of the building site and
for resiliency against explosions. All
parts are so constructed that they can
be nested in bundles weighing about
75 pounds to the linear foot, with no
bundle over 19 feet long and none
weighing over one ton. They are de-
signed and made by the Butler Manu-
facturing Co., of Kansas City, Mo.
