rAGE TWO THE ESCANABA (MICH.) DAILY PRESS TUESDAY, JAN. 22, 1916 NAVY HAS NEW SPEED BOMBER Mighty Mauler, Torpedo Bomber, Dives Over 500 MPH TRUMAN GIVES WORD TO CUT DEBT Mauler, the newest dlve-torpedo-bom- ber, built to withstand vertical dive speeds of over 500 miles an hour, was announced here today. It is designed ior operation off the large aircraft carriers of the Midway class. It is built by the Glenn L. Martin Company.

In level flight, the Mauler, designated the BTM by the Navy, has a speed of 350 miles an hour or over. An unusual feature is its intermeshing finger-tip dive brak- i es which open in less than five seconds at extremely' high diving speeds to slow the plane down in its vertical descent to a speed of less than 350 miles an hour. This makes possible a lower-altitude ptillout and therefore greater bombing accuracy. As a dive-bomber this new single-seated, long-range, power- ful plane, can carry 4,000 pounds of bombs'or rockets. As a torpedo bomber it can carry one torpedo pi vis additional rockets or bombs, It carries its bombs, rockets and torpedo suspended externally in shackles under its central section and wings.

It has no internal bomb-bay. The BTM has a gross weight of 19.500 pounds when carrying 2,000 pound bomb. It has a wing- span of 50 feet, and a length of nearlv 42 feet. The outer wing panels fold vertically for carrier accommodation. Tt is powered by a Pratt and Whitney Wasp Major engine which has a rating of 3.000 i horsepower.

Its large four-bladed Curt Us Electric propeller measur- es nearly 15 feet in diameter. Its maximum range is 1.700 miles.
