& list
Gary did run a centrifical cabin air pressurizer at Bonneville. As I recall
Don Alderson (milidon) borrowed it from Douglas Aircraft and modified it to
be engine driven. That was a long time ago and I don't remember Gary saying
anything about it being electric driven. They were 24 Volts on most
aircraft. Could be a lttle crowded in a belly tank with extra batteries. He
also stated it was returned to the aiplane company. Probably a good thing or
Don might have had a cage for a room. Gary's words.
