And chutes aren't all that parachute riggers handle, Donald pointed out. His crew, headed by Chief Parachute Rigger John B. Boyce of Southgate, takes care of all types of emergency equipment, including chutes, life rafts, and life jackets. But chutes are the principal charge of the group and here is a rough idea of what happens when a chute is brought in, usually wet and tangled after a jump. The parachute, made of some 70 square yards of either nylon or silk, has to be straightened, cleaned, inspected, repaired, and dried, the last operation requiring 24 hours of hanging with other chutes in a special room. Then the chute is repacked, a most particular job since the chute must open properly when the ripcord is pulled, and then the pack is safely sealed so that a rigger or pilot can tell at a glance if the packing has been tampered with. The parachute rigger's creed, posted on the wall of the room where some 20 men work, reveals much of the responsibility the men feel and the care with which they work: "It is my duty to keep the parachutes of this station in the best possible condition and I intend to do so. I will bear in mind that the chute is a life pack and may be called upon at any time to function properly and quickly to save human life and do do so must be in perfect condition, folded carefully and properly; that during my monthly folding and inspecting I will not neglect to make any repair, no matter how small; that I want the persons using my chutes to have the utmost confidence in them by my standing ready to use any chute folded and packed by me."
