Summary

NoS Summary - A "health wheel" is demonstrated.
NoS synopsis: "Any building girl-flyers here? Here’s the new "Whirlabout" which can put a girl in all sorts of fixes -" A woman stands strapped into a contraption which then rotates. It is a kind of gyroscope. We see the woman turned every which way on the wheel. "Ten minutes of this is worth a ten hours’ flight!" We see her from a low angle, as she spins upside down she takes her hands from the handles. Different exercises are demonstrated.
