HAwKER A RECORD BREAKER.
Has Won Great Distinction in Airplane
Flights.

New York, May l9.--Harry G. Hawker
is an Australian n years old. He began
his career as mechanic and rose to the
rank of flyer under the tutelage of
Sopwith, one of the earliest British air.
men. He first came into prominence on
Oct "a, 1912, when, flying Sopwith BIZ
plane, designed after the pattern of the
Wrights, he established the then British
record Of eight hours and 20 minutes for
a duration flight and won the British
Michelin trophy for that year.
In 1913, flying Sopwith equipped
with Gnome motor, he established the
then British altitude record of $4,000
feet and on the same day carried aloft
two passengers to a height of 10000
feet Later he attained what was claimed
to be the worlds altitude reeord-28500
feet--which, of course, was subsequently
excelled. During the war Hawker was
engaged as an experimental flyer assist
ing in the development of Sopwith ma
chimes.
In 1918 and 1914 Hawker, made two
attempts in Sopwith to win the Lon
don Daily Mails prize of $4,000 for
flight around Great Britain The first
time he had to descend near Yarmouth
because of illness and on the second occa-
sion he met with a mishap near Dublin.
Commander GTieve is 2S years old. He
is wireless expert and meteorologist as
we'll as flyer and for a time during the
war commanded the cruiser Campania,
mother ship Of the British air squadron
with the grand fleet
The following calculations by an en-
gineer of a company supplying motors
for majority of British airplanes shows
what Hawker and Grieve expected their
machine to accomplish in the trans At
lantic flight covering period of at least
90 hours:
The blade tips of each propeller to
travel 10000 miles.
The piston in each cylinder to travel
440 miles, so with four motors of Il
cylinders each the piston distance would
be 1920 miles
Each engine to make 2,l6O,00O revolu-
tions.
The valves to be operated 25,920,000
times in each engine.
The pump forcing water through the
radiator to Nave to lift 3S,400 gallons
The actual work performed by each
engine would represent approximately
4,500,000 foot tons, which is sufficient
energy to lift the steamship Olympic of
$4,000 tons, 100 feet into the air
