AERONAUTICS AND
AUTOS IN THE ARMY
Experiments Being Made at Fort
Myer in Working Out Scouting
Problems by New
Methods

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Feb. 21.-Aero-
nautics has become a distinct line of
activity for the signal corps of the
United States army, and in the study
of the problems of air navigation the
automobile has been found to be a
necessity. Not that any one considers
or attempts flight through the air
with a motor car, but they do over
the surface of the ground follow the
course of the airships. This is partly
for the purpose of giving aid in case
of accidents and partly for the purpose
of giving an opportunity for observa-
ton of the workings of the airshipS
to observers as well as navigatorS.
At Fort Meyer, where the national
government conducts it's tests, the sig
nal corps is provided with a Franklin
touring car of twenty-eight horSepoW-
er. This is kept in continued use, al
though the aeronautic expeditions are
not so numerous or extensive now rs
they were before Orville Wright and
his soldier companion had their fall at
Fort Meyer which resulted in the death
of the latter and the serious injury of
the more famous aeronaut. The belief
among army officers and among men,
berS of the signal corps especially,
however, is that travel through the air
viii grow in favor and that without
any great delay. They believe it a
necessity for army scouting, although
as yet they have been able with the
automobile to execute movements more
quickly than with the airships.

Professor H. La " Twining, Sec
retary of the Aero club of California,
is one of the clubs most enthusiastic
workers. He is instructor in physics
and electrical engineering at the Poly
technic high school and is extremely
popular among high school students
and Aero club members alike.
In addition to his school work and
his interest in aeronautics Professor
Twining has taken considerable inter-
est in wireless telegraphy. He has
had practical experience as a tele-
graph operator and has a wireless
station at his house. During the win
ter he has been preparing a manual
on wireless telegraphy, which will be
published in the near future
Professor Twining believes that a
practical method of flight will be de-
vised, not dependent on the power of
a motor. In pursuance of that idea
he has made a special study of the
principles underlying bird flight, of
which he says there are four, funda-
mentally. He states these as follows:
"First-Any object moving through
the air, except a balloon, does not rest
on the air or float in the air. 1t pur-
sues a path in space for certain dis
tance as a resultant of certain forces
acting on it. The forces acting are
gravity, which is continuous. the re-
sistance due to still air, which is con-
tinuous; the resistance due to the
wind, which is intermittent, and the
impelling force. which may be inter-
mittent or continuous
"Second-The swifter a body is NOV
ing the less the energy necessary to
keep it moving. Professor Langley
proved this by actual experiment. The
reason for this lies in the fact that
the swifter a body moves the less it
weighs.
''Third-Any body in space free to
move, when acted on by any force
whether in line with it's freedom or
not, will move along the line of its
least resistance. This is a well known
mechanical principle and it scarcely
needs illustration.
"Fourth-The inertia of a body or
its tendency to preserve its state of
rest or motion is an important factor
involved in fight. The balloon has the
same inertia as the air displaced by
it when floating. The heavier than
air type of machine however. has
great inertia compared with the air
displaced by it or striking it. Because
Los Angeles herald., 1909-02-22

of this a light bird or dirigible bal
loon advances with difficulty into the
wind, but a heavy bird can sail into
the very teeth of the gale This is
due to the fact that it takes time to
give motion to a body of large mass.
and If the body is of the right shape
and presents the right angle to the
wind the air rebounds before it can
communicate any of its motion rear
ward. AS it rebounds it exerts all of
its force as a reaction forward. In
| the case of a light object the wind
communicates its motion to it before
it has chance to. rebound, and hence
drives it backward"
Professor Twining answers affirma-
lively the question, "Can a man fly
with wings?"
''The scientist. the aeroplanist and
the ballooniSt shake their heads" he
says, but he does not agree with them,
and he has made numerous expert
ments to test his ideas. He says:
MY experiments have led me to
think that a man by means of his own
muscle, with a properly designed ma
chine, can maintain himself and the
machine in the air indefinitely. He
can rise from the ground alight cas-
! lily and safely and go wherever the air
is free with as much ease as a man
pEOp0lS d DICyCIe. In1S eventually Will
be possible with a machine that will
not cost any more than a bicycle This
is the dream that thousands of dream
ers have dreamed in the days gone by,
and this is the dream that other thou
sands are dreaming today.
Some five years ago 1 made a ma
chine with wings and took it into the
hills to the west of San Pedro in the
| darkness of the early morning hours.
There for two days, like the condor of
the Andes with a full stomach, I tried
to get off the ground, but it would not
work-the first machine that a man
makes never does. But I learned a
great deal by the experiment and with
| the added knowledge 1 propose in the
near future to build another machine.
My first machine weighed thirty-five
pounds. The wings had a spread of
twenty -four feet from tip to tip and
a width of two and one-half feet"
Professor Twining hopes to take
some time in his vacation this sum-
mer for further experiments and he
will then construct a machine on the
lines developed by his former expert
merltS
