The Aeroplane Speaks. Fifth Edition
·
H. Barber
137
When
pulling
an
aeroplane
along,
if
possible,
pull
from
the
top
of
the
undercarriage
struts.
If
necessary
to
pull
from
elsewhere,
then
do
so
by
grasping
the
interplane
struts
as
low
down
as
possible.
Never
pull
by
means
of
wires.
Never
lay
fabric-covered
parts
upon
a
concrete
floor.
Any
slight
movement
will
cause
the
fabric
to
scrape
over
the
floor
with
resultant
damage.
Struts,
spars,
etc.,
should
never
be
left
about
the
floor,
as
in
such
position
they
are
likely
to
become
scored.
I
have
already
explained
the
importance
of
protecting
the
outside
fibres
of
the
wood.
Remember
also
that
wood
becomes
distorted
easily.
This
particularly
applies
to
interplane
struts.
If
there
are
no
proper
racks
to
stand
them
in,
then
the
best
plan
is
to
lean
them
up
against
the
wall
in
as
near
a
vertical
position
as
possible.
TIME.--Learn
to
know
the
time
necessary
to
complete
any
of
the
various
rigging
jobs.
This
is
really
important.
Ignorance
of
this
will
lead
to
bitter
disappointments
in
civil
life;
and,
where
Service
flying
is
concerned,
it
will,
to
say
the
least
of
it,
earn
unpopularity
with
senior
officers,
and
fail
to
develop
respect
and
good
work
where
men
are
concerned.
THE
AEROPLANE
SHED.--This
should
be
kept
as
clean
and
orderly
as
possible.
A
clean,
smart
shed
produces
briskness,
energy,
and
pride
of
work.
A
dirty,
disorderly
shed
nearly
always
produces
slackness
and
poor
quality
of
work,
lost
tools,
and
mislaid
material.
