The N. A. A. F. I. Sports Dept. gets a big demand from the Forces for tennis balls

The N.A.A.F.I. Sports Dept. gets a big demand from the Forces for tennis balls. Tennis is important in the training of RAF crews - it keys up the eyes to quickly pick out moving objects. The balls are stripped - re-inflated by a chemical pellet put inside and action started by a drip or two of water sealed and recovered. Miss Fanny Wood, age 63, is an expert at recovering the balls. She has been doing it for 42 years, and can deal with 36 dozen a day. May 1943 P012243
