, landing strips may have a maximum
slope at any point of more than 3
inches in 10 feet, which corresponds
to u grade of 2 Vfe per cent. The mean
slope of the entire surface shall not
be more than 2 per cent.
Surrounding obstructions will
diminish the effective landing area by
seven times the height of such obstructions.
For instance, obstacles

In the case of landing strips on L- j
shaped, T-shaped or other than allway
fie Ida the presence of obstacles
in the landing direction will likewisej
diminiah the available length of the <
landing atrip. Where obataclea lie
alongaide the landing atrip, ao that
a plane landing passes parallel to and
not over them, the obstacle rule of
7 to 1 will not apply, providing that
no landing atrip shall be leas than
500 feet wide, in accordance with
paragraph 1 of basic requirement*.
However, location of buildings in the
V formed by landing strips or runways
is subject to many objections.
The airport muHt be situated on a
good road leading to the nearest city
or town.
The airport must be equipped with
an approved type of wind-direction
indicator.
The airport must be marked by
means of a circle at least 100 feet int.
diameter, having a band 4 feet wide,
constructed of crushed rock, gravdl*.
etc., the circle to be placed flush with
the ground and kept white-washed.
In addition, the name of the city must
be placed near the marking circle or
upon at. least one airport building, so
as to be visible from an altitude of
2,000 feet.
Where rui.ways have been installed
ami by their nature and appearance
constitute an adequate day marking,
no additional identification of those
runways or landing strips will be required.
If the landing strips are not
easily apparent from an altitude of
at least 2,400 feet, they shall be
marked by means of solid 4-foot
white circles constructed of crushed
rock, gravel, etc., not more than 250
feet apart, placed along the borders
6nd kept whitewashed.
Runways shall be not less than 100
feet wide. The edges of the runways
must be flush with the rest of the
landing strip, and shoulders of runways
must be constructed of some
porous material, such as crushed rock
or gravel. Adequate drainage must
he provided whether runways are used
or whether the entire field is available
for landing. If natural drainage
is good, no artificial system will be
required.
The airport must be provided with
facilities for supplying aircraft with
fuel, oil, and water. It must have
dependable communication and transportation
facilities to the nearest city
or town. Airport personnel must be
in attendance by day or available on
^al! by telephone at the airport. In
the latter case the telephone booth or
'receptacle must also contain a directory
and full directions for reaching
such personnel.
In addition to the facilities named
in the basic requirements, fields re
ceiving a "B" rating on general
equipment must have the following:
One or more hangars at least 60

and provisions for heating water and
oil as required for an "A rating.
Repair equipment, weather instruments,
adequate equipment for removing
snow, first-aid equipment,
fire-fignting equipment, and a register
as required for* an "A" rating.
Sleeping quarters for at least two
men, in addition to the field personnel,
at the airport or not more than onehalf
mile distant.
Rest room.
In addition to the basic requirements,
the field receiving a "2" rating
on its size must have 2,000 feet of
landing area in all directions, with
clear approaches, the field to be in
good condition for landing at all
times; or it must have landing strips
500 feet wide, permitting landing in
at least eight directions at all times,
the landing sfrips not to cross or
converge at angles less than 40 degrees
nor any one of the landing
strips to be less than 2,000 feet in
length, with clear approaches; or it
must have two. landing strips permitting
at leas! four-way landing at all
times and having clear approaches,
the landing strips to he at least 500
feet wide and not less than 3,000 feet
long and not to cross or converge at
angles of less than 60 degrees.

"Southern City*
GROUPED together, the workers of the
Southern Railway System and their
families would make up a city larger than Atlanta,
Birmingham, Richmond, Memphis,
Jacksonville, Knoxville or Chattanooga. Only
25 cities in the United States would be as big.
But almost every city and town in the South
?the hundreds of communities served by the
Southern?have a part in "Southern City."
In these communities the 60,000 Southern
men and women who operate the Southern
Railway System live and work. To the upbuilding
of these communities, stimulating
business and prosperity, goes the $90,000,000
they earn each year, as well as the taxes paid c
by the Southern and the large amounts of
money it spends in the South for materials and
supplies.
The Southern is always striving to build up
the South by bringing in new people, new
capital, new industry; by constantly working
with the farmer to improve agricultural conditions,
and by providing safe, swift, economical
transportation. These efforts are dictated
by sound business considerations. The
Southern can prosper only as the South grows
and develops.
