AP Newsfeatures
PATERSON, N. J. — A plant
which turned out aircraft engines
during the war has been trans-
formed into a sprawling industrial
“city,”, with 10 city blocks of
floor space and 14 factories.
Instead of becoming a postwar
white elephant for want of a sin-
gle firm big enough to occupy all
of it, the plant, which was one of
the largest for aircraft engines in
the world, has taken in many ten-
ants and turned to peacetime pro-
duction.
The city of factories — which
decided that “two (or more) can
live as cheaply as one”—is set-
ting the pace for others. A plant
three times as big already is be-
ing converted the same way.
The converted plant was oper-
ated by the Wright Aeronautical
corvoration during the war. But
by 1945, the airplane engine firm
had withdrawn to a single factory
in Paterson.
Five firms got together and
bought 86 per cent of the plant.
They formed Fair Lawn Indus-
tries, Inc., which bought the rest
and now maintains all facilities.
Then they leased the unoccupied
parts of the plant to nine other
firms, with three others yet to
move in.
The joint occupancy is proving
a blessing to all, says General
Manager George R. Jaqua.
“Should one firm have a bad
year,” he explains, “another is
likely to have a profitable time.
That makes the plant solid and
helps provide work all the time
for the labor force.”
Joint maintenance of buildings
and joint operation of the power
plant is proving cheaper and more
efficient than individual opera-
tion. More than 85 per cent of the
entire plant is on the ground
floor, eliminating elevators and
extensive conveyor systems.
There are large areas of unbrok-
en floor space, now at a premium
in industry.
The former Wright Aircraft
plants 1 and 2 in Paterson, three
times as large as plant 3, have
been sold to Webb and Knapp,
Inc., New York real estate firm,
which is converting them into an-
other factory city.
The occupants of plant 3 turn
out such diverse products as au-
tomotive parts, printed ribbon and
metal foil. So diverse are the in-
dustries, that a weaving firm
might buy its machinery from a
neighbor. A third firm might
print the ribbon it made, and a
fourth might dye and print the
cloth. A furniture upholstery
firm might use cloth, and a lith-
ographer might advertise the
products of all.
The sprawling plant, with 650,-
000 square feet (15 acres) of floor
space and 44 acres of ground, was
built in 1925 for the Textile I
Printing and Dyeing company of
America. It went to war turning
out aircraft engines in 1940, and
it was sold to the present owners
for $1,138,186.
Conversion to peacetime was
pushed so fast that riggers
waited with new equipment while
heavy concrete floors were ripped
up to receive it, and other crews
moved out heavy equipment that
had turned out the plane engines.
cause it is based on a larger
craft. The XP-85 has no landing
gear. It can take off and land
only on a special gear slung under
the belly of the parent ship.
The radical little tighter—only
about 15 feet long — still is a
highly classified secret in the air
force, but many of the details
have leaked out over a period of
months as construction neared
completion at St. Louis, Mo.
Flight testing should start soon
at the air force base near Muroc,
Calif.
The nearest approach to the
condition under which the XP-85
will make its first flight was that
of the Bell XS-1, a research plane
powered by rocket engines. This
plane was carried aloft under a
B-29 and launched as a glider in
mid-air. It was piloted to a nor-
mal landing on its tiny wheels.
After numerous glider flights, the
XS-1 began power flight tests.
The XP-85 cannot “land” ex-
cept on its hook, located just
ahead of the cockpit. It was de-
signed to be carried in the bomb
bay of a B-36 bomber, but initial
test flying will be from the belly
of a B-29.
“Parasite” fighters are an old
idea. The navy based such planes
aboard the dirigibles Akron and
Macon. Those planes could land
and take off on the ground, how-
ever, and flew at less than 200
miles' an hour — compared with
more than 600 miles an hour ex-
pected of the XP-85.
This little fighter, carrying four
50-calibre machine guns and a
wing load of rockets, is powered
with a Westinghouse 24C axial
flow jet engine, capable of 3,000
pounds thrust (equivalent to
about twice that many horsepow-
er when traveling at top speed.)
Its folding wings are 21 feet
wide when extended, and it has
extra fins behind the cockpit to
aid stability, a problem which is
serious because of the wing
sweepback and the short fuselage.

Doughty.

Tired,Al!-ln—
Listless Feeling
Brought To Halt
As Vibrant Energy is Released
To Every Muscle, Fibre, Cell
Do you get up in the mornings still
tired, feel down-and-out all day? Have
you checked-up on your blood strength
lately? Overwork, undue worry, cold, flu
or other illness often wears down the
red-blood-cells.
Every day—every hour—millions of
tiny red-blood-cells must pour forth
from the marrow of your bones to re-
place those that are worn-out. A low
blood count may affect you in several
ways: no appetite, underweight, no
energy, a run-down condition, lack of
resistance to infection and disease.
To get real relief you must keep up
your blood strength. Medical authorities,
by analysis of the blood, have by posi-
tive proof shown that SSS Tonic is
amazingly effective in building up low
blood strength in non-organic nutri-
tional anemia. This is due to the SSS
Tonic formula which contains special
and potent activating ingredients.
Also, SSS Tonic helps you enjoy the
food you eat by increasing the gastric
digestive juice when it is non-organi-
cally too little or scanty—thus the stom-
ach will have little cause to get balky
with gas, bloat and give off that sour
food taste. . .
Don’t wait! Energize your body with
rich, red-blood. Start on SSS Tonic now.
As vigorous blood surges throughout
your whole body, greater freshness and
strength should make you eat better,
sleep better, fenl better, work better,
play better, have a healthy color glow in
your skin—firm flesh fill out hollow
places. Millions of bottles sold Get a
bottle from your drug store. SSS Tonic
helps Build Sturdy Health. I
