stoned by diving and climbing, 1t was
recognized as too great risk to sub
tect these men to actual flying tests,
so the medical laboratory at Hazel
hurst Field undertook to devise some
way OF getting the same results by
means Of a ground test.
In the early tests the pilot was
placed in a steel alright cylinder from
which the air was gradually eXhauste
and then replace to stimulate a flight
into the rarefied air OF high attitudes
ana b1ck to earth. but to-day the pilo'
sits comfortably In the same room with
his examiners.
His nose is clamped so that he can
not breathe through It. Over his
mouth is placed the breathing appara-
tus, which is connected by tubes with
q tank OF measured air and with in
struments that record every breath he
takes. The air is analysed at various
stages OF the run.
As fast as he eXhales the air Is taken
into reservoir. where it Is cleared Of
carbon dioXde and then returned to
the tank. Gradually he uses up the
oxygen and thus air conditions OF high
attitudes are duplicated. The higher
one goes m the rarer the air becomes;
just so with the man under test.
The man under test Is kept fairly
busy, just as he would be plotting a
plane. Before him on a table is n bank
