FEBRUARY 4TH, 1943 FLIGHT Advertisements. 5 FEATHERS OR LEAD? Which is the heavier — a pound of feathers or a pound of lead? The accepted answer, of course, is that it all depends on the size. But a better answer is that they both weigh a whole lot more after you've carried them a mile and a darned sight more after five miles. This scientific fact (don't argue, boy; go and ask a soldier in full equipment) ... this scientific fact, we repeat, is known to millions of workers whose duties compel them, hour after hour, to handle, lift, operate, manipulate, pick up and lay down shovels, iron bars, bricks and indeed any kind of tool or material. That is why we consider the lightness of Desoutter Tools one of their chief virtues. As light as a feather, you say when you first handle one ; the great thing is that you will still say so some hours later when you've drilled hundreds and hundreds of holes. iypDrill Gun was the first one-handed electric drill inthe world.
