Army Measures Its Man; Finds Average
Soldier Weighs 155 Pounds, Is Size 38
Washington—The average United
States Army soldier weighs 155
pounds and stands five feet eight and
one-half inches high.
He wears a size 38 uniform and a
size 9-D shoe.
In a shirt he takes a 14% neck size
and a sleeve length of 32 inches. His
chest measures 36.3 inches, his waist
30.6 inches and his hips 36.6 inches.
These figures were developed from
lan anthropometric survey conducted
Iby the Army’s tailor-by-proxy, the
' Quartermaster Corps. In an effort to
obtain scientific data that would lead
to better fitting clothing, 65 various
dimensions per man were taken during
the survey.
It also was found that the breadth*
of his shoulders at the widest points',
is 17.9 inches, his trouser inseam 32.8
inches and his outseam 41.5 inches. |
The study shows broad variations in
body measurements. In weight the
men ranged from 90 to 309 pounds.
In height from 59 to 79 inches. Neck \
circumferences varied between 11 and
119 inches, shoulders measured 35 to
54 inches in circumference, chests were
between 26 and 48 inches, waists bulg
ed between 22 and 48, and hips spread i
from 26 to 50 inches. Inseams ran
from 26 to 40 inches, outseams from
32 to 50 inches, and sleeve lengths
'from 25 to 39 inches.
Other interesting statistics came to
light in the survey. Data compiled in
dicates that maximum height is reach
ed in the 24th year and is maintained
for only a brief period before a grad
ual decrease begins. The lessening
of height apparently levels off for
'some time at about one-half inch less
| than the maximum, and after the 33rd
1 year a further decrease in stature de
velons.
While maximum stature is reached
at the age of 24, body weights and
■ measurements continue to increase
though age 26 and probably continue
for many years. The greatest change
occurs in weight, which increases from
I 139 pounds at age 17 to 158 pounds
at age 26.
During the same age spread the
waist circumference increases from 28
to 31 inches and the chest circumfer
ence from 34 to 36 inches. The neck
appears to stabilize in the 24th year.
Head circumferenc.e shows its last
growth phase between 17 and 19, with
a slow persistent trend producing an
other one-tenth of an inch by age 24.

Army’s Anti-Aircraft
Guns To Blast Targets
At Height Os 8 Miles i
Washington—The Army soon will
be firing on targets flying at super- :
sonic speeds eight miles above the
earth.
A sleek, plastic tow target soon is
to receive final engineering flight
tests. It will provide bait for anti
aircraft crews operating the famed
electrically - controlled Skysweeper.
Heretofore, the sleeves or banner
type targets have been unable to with
stand the extreme pressures and tem
peratures of high altitudes while be
ing towed at supersonic speeds.
The new target, developed and pro
duced for the Army at Bellanca Air
craft Corporation, will be separated
from the towing plane by more than
5,000 feet of cable.
The plastic material of which the
new device ,'s constructed provides the
necessary structural strength to sur
vive the buffeting it takes in flight.
In addition, it is tough enough to pre
vent the craft from shattering when
bit by shell fragments. This facili
tates repairs by ground crews.
Economy-wise thinking also went in
to its production. A parachute mech
.anism wafts the target to earth once
its mission is completed. The fuse
lage will float in event it lands in
water.

On takeoff, the craft rides on a cart
until the towing plane attains suffi
cient speed to pull it into the air. At
the same time, an automatically-op
erated brake brings the launching cart
to a halt.
Once airborne, the target’s own tail
assembly and Ihe drag of the cable
connecting it and the towing plane
combine to enable flight similar to
that of a glider.
