Abstract
A LARGE amount of plastic materials is used in the construction and furnishing of the American machines of the Yankee Clipper class, used in the trans-Atlantic air service. According to an article in the Electrician of March 8, colour plays an important part in the furnishing and decoration of these machines. The average American traveller is very critical of his travel-surroundings, and as he is relatively a prisoner in the machine for long hours on end, it is essential that his liking for cheerful surroundings be satisfied. Plastic decorations have been found to be most useful by the designers.
