    Thanks for the reply. The chute we have only has the (cut off) lines attached around the skirt. It is not a full circle. More like a 3/4 circle. There are 10 lines bunched together in a 20" section on one side then 11 lines 36" apart on the opposite side. There are numbers on the canopy by these lines from 19 to 29. We would like it to try to be as authentic as possible first before we try the wall mounting idea. We have an 6' industrial fan able to produce a continuous 30 mph wind flow. We also have the ability to suspend or position the fan at any height or position from cables. Space and/or noise are not issues. I guess our first question is how long are the line supposed to be? Thanks again for your input.

    Some fellow students and I here at the University of Wisconsin are working on an aerodynamic Art project using the 1960 C-9 Canopy Assy 28' Dia for a parachute to be rigged to a base and held aloft by industrial fans. We purchased a surplus Parachute USAF59-19953 P/N 50E6877-2 which has the starter lines but we can not figure out how it was rigged (Lines Ran) to a harness. Can you please help us out by telling us how the lines where attached from the canopy to the harness? Any information or pictures you can provide would really be appreciated. Thank you for your help beforehand. Take care Joe
