Abstract
A two-wheeled carrier is propelled up a kite string by a parachute mounted to a toy soldier. The toy is connected to the carrier by a wire shaped to permit free rotation of the toy relative to the carrier about both a vertical and horizontal axis when the carrier is mounted on the string. An ejector positionable arbitrarily along the string includes a ramp which separates the carrier both above and laterally to the windward side of the string prior to separation off the free end of the ramp.
期刊介绍:
PLL is a generalist journal of literary criticism and scholarship published quarterly at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. PLL publishes essays on all national literatures and historical periods, as well as book reviews, notes, and original materials such as notebooks, letters, and journals. PLL defines the word "language" broadly and welcomes submissions on visual and/or digital languages. PLL began publication in 1965; its founding editor was Nicholas T. Joost, who was succeeded by Alvin Sullivan until his passing in 1991. The journal was then edited by Dickie Spurgeon from 1991 to 1992, then passed to co-editorship under Jack G. Voller and Brian Abel Ragen until 1997, at which point Professor Ragen edited the journal until his retirement in 2008. Professor Voller returned for five years as editor until his retirement in 2013.
