One Of the interesting results Of the
fseent experiments in England in pho
osraphing flying bullets has been to
show that the disturbance in the air
travels faster than the bullet itself.
The photographs exhibit air waves in
advance of the bullets, even when the
latter are moving faster than the veloc-
ity Of sound. In one case where the
bullet was moving considerably faster
than sound travels in the air it was pre-
coded by an atmospheric disturbance
which, ut the moment the photograph
was taken, was half an inch in advance
OF the point of the bullet. Even when
the bullets were travelling four times
as fast as sound, the atmospheric dis
furbance kept ahead Of them.
