Saloon.  The saloon is entered through a door aft of the lower plane and seats six of the passengers facing forward in separate chairs, the other two facing aft.  The seats are collapsible and when folded project only five inches from the saloon sides, leaving a maximum of floor space if it is desired to carry cargo in lieu of passengers. 

Windows, which can be opened, are fitted the full length of both sides of the cabin and an emergency exit is provided in the roof.  Heating is provided by means of hot air muffs around the exhaust pipes.  Behind the saloon is a lavatory compartment suitably fitted. 

The internal dimensions of the saloon available as cargo space when no passengers are carried are: length, 10 feet, 6 inches; height at center, 5 feet, 9 inches; width, 4 feet. Pilot's Cockpit.  The pilot and mechanic are accomodated in a cockpit between the fire bulkhead and the front spar of the top plane, giving a very fine view.  A wireless telephone and telegraph installation is provided for in the cockpit (but not supplied), completely accessible to the mechanic.
