Dave Ware's Parachute Jump

Dave Ware writes:

This is the model as revised by Gilbert in 1949.

Use of the OI segment of 72 tooth gear allowed for a simplier mechanism. This innovation and the increase of the height to almost 6 feet made for a much improved model. The action was now completely automatic.

Parachutes were homemade using silk cloth and swizzle sticks.
