ARMORED MOTOR TURRET CARS FOR THE NAVY
What can the Navy do with an armored turret car? How can it be landed from a battleship and manned on shore? The
accompanying photograph tells the story. The United States Marine Corps, the first service to use motor trucks, is now
equipped with armored motor turret cars for tropical expeditions. The armored car is, of course, carried aboard ship.
When lowered into a motor boat or sailing launch it rests
on joists placed fore and aft on the thwarts. The boat is
beached stern first, and the car is run ashore in fair
weather ovur planks hooking on to the stern, or in bad
weather, by shear legs and a multiple block.
Fitting Together a Kodak
Key
Next time you take a snap shot
with your kodak, notice the key
which turns the film. The key does
not grow all together as you see
it. It is composed of several parts
which must be fitted together with
precision if your kodak is to work
without a hitch. Assembling the
small parts of the key is a job re­
quiring deftness and delicacy of
touch. You see how easily this
young girl does it. Her brother
probably would take more time and
not do it as well in the end, because
it is just one more of those things
men can't do as well as women.
