WEATHER PHENOMENA rang-
ing from Eastern sandstorms to
Arctic sleet are manufactured by
the AAF Materiel Command at
Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. A
room specially designed for testing
men and equipment under all cli-
matic conditions is provided with
blowers that generate wind; bat-
teries of lamps that yield the
equivalent of sunlight; a hopper
that sends forth clouds of sand;
shower heads that pour down rain;
and nozzles that spurt water to
make fog. Humidity and tempera-
ture are also controlled. A rub-
berized bathtub covering the floor
‘makes it possible to flood the room,
creating a small lagoon where sol-
diers paddle one-man life rafts
(right) designed for flyers.
