Notes on cooperative program of Palmer Aero Products, British Aircraft Corp, and ICI Fibers; e.g., prototype 15 ft long rubber overshoe had been fitted to Boston Phantom and was used to crack up to 6 in. of ice; ship has since been fitted with rubber overshoe for mast stay and set of facings for bridge front; when ice forms, equipment is inflated by compressed air; Palmer Aero Products has designed similar equipment to fit over trawler radar scanner; pneumatic de-icing apparatus has also been developed for trawler deck-stowed inflatable life rafts.
