American Eviators Won't Have
10 Experiment While Flying
Over Enemy.
TWO PROBLEMS TO SOLVE
United States Bureau of Standards
Has Devised Way to Reproduce
the Conditions Found in High
Attitudes

WaShington.-The bureau of stand
ards is erecting a little grccni>h-gray
concrete building on the edge of IFS
grounds where one Of the final chap
tiers of Americas preparations Tor
aerial warfare will be written. The
bureau declines to discuss what part
it will play in the final design Of the
new "Liberty air engine" which the
government is expected to mount on
all American airplaneS for use in the
European war; bat it has become
known that before the final design OF
| this engine is approved il must under
60 Il few final tests in that little green
ish-gray building.
There will be determined. under con-
| ditionS almost identical with c"ndl-
lions found at various attitudes. just
how an arplane engine performs
when 1t gets so high that the air gets
perccptibly thinner 1t will be tested
in temperature down to freezing.
Bringing High Altitude Down.
The bureau building IS Il tombllNe
structure. full of delicate instruments
| which will have the effect of bringing
the skies down to the earth. insofar
rs airplane conditions are concerned.
II is impractical to send an engineer
aloft to watch the engine perform up
there so the bureau plans 10 bring
the skies To the engine.
Ever since the European war began,
the aviators of the warning nations
have been flying to astonishing heights
in the clear air of France. Attitudes
of 10000 feet are quite commonplace,
and 20,OO0-foot flights no longer eX-
cite wonder. Aviators must go up
high, and they must have engines that
will take them there. so the engine
designers have been experimenting for
the last three years with an engine
that won't smother" when it gets into
thin air.
SO far the allies have been unable,
for various reasons. to make absolute
~ accurate tests. An engineer can go
aloft in Il plane. but he cant load in
ton or two of apparatus also and
test out sparkling efficiency. compress
sion density horsepower delivery and
all the other things that he should do.
Being confronted with the necessity
of making such tests, the bureau OF
standards experts figured out
method.
The Two Problems.
First, they argued. they must know
just what an airplane does at an
altitude, say of 10000 feet. An engine
that will perform perfectly at 10000
feet has tricky habit of stumbling
and missing ignition when it gets an
other 10000 feet higher, and the ex-
perts wanted to observe all its all
ments at that height.
Second they wanted some sort OF
mechanical arrangement which
would permit them to test untried
types of engines under conditions sim
liar to conditions very high aloft, and
