Firm “Gather of waggonfabrik” (better known as just “goth”) at the end of the 1930s, released the first batch of ten-seat amphibious gliders DFS 230 was developed in the German Institute for the development of gliding (Deutches Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug, abbreviated DFS) under the direction of G. Jacobs. At the plant “goth” production of the DFS 230 was engaged in engineer A. Kalkert. Taking a series of DFS 230, Kalkert thought on creating a larger glider capable of carrying 20 soldiers with full equipment, and oversized cargo. He had to have a large hatch with size approximately equal to the cross section of the fuselage, and upper wing. The cargo hatch designer decided to make a hinged tail of the fuselage, as the nose of the glider could get damaged when landing (which often happens). This entailed the use of twin-boom tail. This layout was previously known, but was first applied to aircraft of this size.
TANDEM FOR TWO, THREE, FOUR
For a basis we took the road bike (with “women’s” frame), set on it a longitudinal beam of the two aluminum profiles-“parts” and fixed on the beam two seats with backs so that the first rider was able to pedal the front wheel drive and the second conventional chain drive the rear wheels. So we got a double bike with the same dimensions that and serial single. Sitting in the front seat rotations”t pedal for more drive, located in the center of the front wheel, supports the balance, and also serves as the driver. The second rider works the pedals, resulting in the rotation of the rear wheel while sticking the handles on the back of the front seat.

THE RADIATOR FOIL
Fast and simple — to manufacture heat sinks for transistors and microcircuits made of copper or aluminum foil with a thickness of 0.1—0.3 mm. Plates are cut with scissors, carefully collected in a package with a thickness of 3 mm, clamped between two fairly tough boards and drill holes. Prior to Assembly of the plate trimmed in the area of thermal contact and smooth out the micron sandpaper to ensure their tight fit. And after the plates are assembled, their ends are bred throughout the free zone.
