Lieutenant Elmer /. Taylor, an
aviator Of experience and a perfect
gentleman beside, is in charge of the
recruiting crew, they having arrived
from Camp Knox last Tuesday after
noon, and are now pleasantly camped
on the College grounds just in the

is a complement of eight men in the
crew, three large trucks, one a tank
truck carrying gasoline for the aero
planes and high grade oils such as
used in the aviation service.
Lieutenant Taylor tells us that a
tent will be erected just in front and
near the college building where all
who are interested in this branch of
the service will be shown, the Marlin
machine gun, timed to shoot through
the propeller of the ship, while max
ing many thousands of revolutions a
minute; also the Lewis gun and its
mounting; this gun being used by the
observer in the rear lock pit; also the
ammunition used in these guns, photo
machine guns for getting the range
and aim, used in training cadets. He
also has on exhibit, the az" type
camera used at an altitude of 1000
to 5000 feet, for map work or mos
aics.
You will also be shown the Aero
Oblique camera, for taking pictures
of individual buildings, many photos
that are indeed interesting, taken at
various attitudes and a sample of the
propeller used in all aeroplanes.
Some one will be in this tent at all
times to answer all questions per-
tanning to this particular branch of
the army service.
A complete Radio set will be on
exhibition in this tent. This system
of communication is used in sending
messages from the plane to the re-
