Bjorn Heyning's Pictures for Volume One, Supplement Two of Heath Stories

Note: The following illustrations appeared in the supplement. The captions are Bjorn's.

• hsp25.jpg (15K): Test flight of Heath model 1375 fiberglass floats, mounted on a Piper J-3 plane, over Lake Erie, probably in 1953. It appears that Howard Anthony sold the floats and design to Replac Corp. in Cleveland after he cancelled the test flight in June 1947. Photo from the files of Gene D. Woods.
• hsp26.jpg (27K): Dedication of SB-104 SSB Equipment at ARRL, probably late 1974. David Nurse, Jim Cooperider, Al Robertson, Joe Shafer, and in the foreground, at the microphone, Mike Elliot.
• hsp27.jpg (18K): Man and plane. Roger Lorenzen towering over "Baby Bullet", the racing plane tailored to fit Ed Heath's small and light (110 lbs) body. Ed won many races in it, and its 150 MPH speed with only a 32 hp engine is unequaled to this day, says Roger, who carved the propeller for it in the late 20's. (from R. Lorenzen's file)
• hsp28.jpg (24K): Propellers. Roger Lorenzen and some of the thousands of propellers he carved, including the 16-footer for the vertical windtunnel of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics labs at Langley, VA. (from R. Lorenzen's file)
• hsp29.jpg (33K): A page with sixteen pictures of the following individuals (from left-to-right, top-to-bottom): Jerry Smith, Lucille Mallory, Fred Eckler, Rudy Lechner, Bill Willis, Don Rupley, Fred Kinsey, Joe Ludlam, Carl Phleger, Marge Lindberg, Bill Hanna, Ted Harris, Bud Taylor, George Meyer, Ray Freridge, Bud Lange, Dave Fenton, Joe Shafer, Ruth Menchinger, and Bjorn Heyning.
