Logging-Hondling Xlethods Now Used in filissile Looding

R. G. LeTourneau, Inc., Longview, Texas, is building an undisclosed number of missile-wielding "Corporal Loaders" for delivery to the British government. The Powe-rful vehicles are used to fick up, transport, and erect the sleek "Corporal" radar-gui-ded mlssiles, which use either atomic or conventional warheads.

R. L. LeTourneau, vice-president of the firm which builds the world's largest off-road transportation equipment, explained the wor-kings of the mammoth vehicles thus:

The machine positions itself at the rear of the multi-ton missile, then swlngs it in a full half circle up through the air and onto its baik. Next, the vehicle carries the missile "piggy-back" over highways or rough battlefield terrain to any forward launching site.

At its ultimate destination, the LeTourneau unit raises the missile slowly and gently to an upright position, then deposits if on a iimple portable stand, or platform, which holds the missile erect for launching. +

LeTourneau made known his company's contract for the British shortly after an official announcement from Washington that Great Britain is forming its fir_st miglile regiment to use the American Corporal. It was the LeTourneau firm which first designed and developed the super-powerful hauler. An undisclosed number of the LeTourneau-built units already are in use by the U. S. Army.

Secret of the machines' superior workability is that all power-including that of the wheels-is delivered by PoYi:rful electric mbtors which are geared directly to the pciints where the power is needed.

Thus an electric motor is geared to each wheel, and
