CIRCLE: Cutaway view of one of Delta's luxurious 
all-metal Lockheed Electras showing passengers' 
cabin, pilots' compartment and cargo space. 
TOP LEFT: Radio control desk. To maintain constant 
communication by voice with airliners and to pro- 
vide a high speed inter-city reservation service, 
Delta has installed a chain of powerful radio tele- 
phone and telegraph stations across the entire 
Trans-Southern Route. 
TOP RIGHT: A Magnaflux inspection unit-one of 
the latest developments in airline maintenance 
equipment. These electrical units are able to de- 
tect flaws or cracks which are hidden as much as 
one half inch below the surface of metal parts. 
BOTTOM LEFT: In the instrument laboratory, all 
flight instruments are periodically disassembled 
and subjected to microscopic inspection. Certain 
parts which are worn as little as one ten thou- 
sandth of an inch must be discarded and replaced. 
BOTTOM RIGHT: In the weather bureau. At all 
terminals, skilled meteorologists check atmospheric 
conditions twenty-four hours each day. Prior to 
flight departure time, all pilots are required to 
make a careful study of weather conditions along, 
and adjacent to, the course to be flown. Enroute 
they are kept advised of any changes by radio 
telephone.
