LIQUID SPRINGS
An invention of almost revolutionary importance has been discovered by a British firm of engineevs, speeialisling on airctaft un d e rearo'ia ges . Hither o science and engineering have accepted the theory that liquids were incompressible. Every attempt o utilise liquids for springs and suspersian puirposes Iwas u'nsuccessful in practice. Now technicians have perfected a liquid spring which operates at pressures up to 100,0001bs. a square inch. Work on this epoch-making invention was completed during the war. At first the technicians in Government research establishments were so , confounded by the results, that ex- , haustive tests had to be made before the ^results were acknowledged and clafmed as practicable. Since '.hen, the new suspension method has been fitted to many types of British aircraft, both military and civil. Tests have proved that ligh. mineral oils are the most suitable for liquid springs.
