let that would have been fired, showing
the exact position of the opponents
aeroplane at the time Of firing and thus
determining whether the plane would
have been hit in vital area or not. Not
only this, but the time of making each
shot is photogra phed, so there can be
no dispute as to which aviator gets In
the first lucky burst of shots.
At the time Of the entrance Of the
United States into the war British
aviators were using gun camera pat
termed after a Lewis machine gun, with
a long lens barrel substituted for the
shooting of the machine gun. This
camera was a cumbersome contrivance,
designed to make only twelve exposures
at one loading, and for each exposure a
manual operation was required. In other
words the aviator could make only one
shot at time and only twelve shots be
fore he would have to reload This
meant that his Photographic marksman-
ship was very much limited as compared
with the actual use OF the machine gun.
With the true cooperative spirit that was
evinced by all the Allies in giving us
the benefits Of their previous experiences
in the war, the British authorities turned
this gun camera over to our army men,
who in turn gave an American company
orders to make duplicates Of it.
1t was here that Yankee initiative,
which has always been so much in evil
dence in national emergencies and which
refuses to be satisfied with what has
gone on before, sprang to the front.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-04-20

The foundations for this work might be
said to have been laid on the Mexican bor-
der. That gave US the skeleton of an organi-
zat!on and some experienced men. On that
we have built and are still building The
central thought of the Knights of Columbus,
and l might say the only thought, has been
to cooperate with the army and navy and
the Commission on Training Camp Activi-
ties, and from the very beginning have held
to the policy Of not charging the men for
the creature comforts we were enabled to
purchase with the money intrusted to us
by their relatives and friends
"One special effort has been to keep down
overhead expenses SO as to leave the last
possible penny for the actual use of the
men"
Right here it might be said that the gem
eral Offices Of the knights OF Columbus War
Board, in 461 Fourth Avenue, bear evidence
Of the desire to keep down the overhead"
Before the war the quarters were & loft,
such as dot the wholesale cloak and suit
district Since they have been cut up into
Offices, but they are such Offices as one
would look for In the headquarters Of q
moderately prosperous manufacturing con-
Germ. There mahogany and no shining
brass in sight rugs the floors, nor
expensive prints the walls. On guess,
the fittings in Mr. Mulligan's private Office
could be duplicated for $500, $40 moro
than the selling price Of the typewriter his
stenographer uses.
when the time comes to break up, there
will be little salvage, for there will be
little to salve.
"More important than even the overhead
has been selecting men who could and would
work with the men We realized that the
man for the work would be the type Of
who would serve the men, and not assume
to be their keepers and superiors in all
things. AS have said, we have been very
uccessful-fortunate, perhaps, is the word.

Every member of the order is proud and,
think, justiAably so, of our secretaries.
"These secretaries have kept their huts

American boys, and the uniform of Uncle
Sam covered everything. Where we could

of the Allied armies. We couldn't, of
course, reach out for them, but when they
came to US they were welcome. We made

seemed to present an insurmountable
obstacle, rs every one thought the tim
ing would have to be done mechanically,
and what that would mean in gears and
mechanisms can only be left to the i'm
agination. Finally one Of the inventors
of the camera suggested that the timing
be done OFFICIALLY, and as result of this
suggestion one Of the unique develop
ments Of the war was brought about.
Moreover, what seemed so difficult was
really solved in an amazingly simple
manner. Use is made of a system of
mirrors, one attached to an arm fastened
to the lens barrel and the other inside
the lens barrel which reflect an image
of the face Of watch attached to the
lens barrel onto the same part of the
film on which the opposing aeroplane Is
photographed. Thus the time in split
seconds is shown on the film for each
exposure.
Each gun camera is ordinarily pro-
vided with three magazines, which may
be loaded in daylight. If an embryo
fighting aviator, therefore, takes up with
him these three magazines loaded to
capacity, he can Shoot" 300 times. The
film in the magazine is ordinary motion
picture film, which travels from a spool
in the small end Of the magazine past
a light trap, where it is exposed, to
reel five inches in diameter in the larger
end Of the magazine. The magazine Is
1OA inches long and inches wide at
the larger end.
In the Lewis machine gun, after a
bullet has been fired, the gases result

aerial fights machines are going at
tremendous speeds and the position of
the opposing machine at the time Of fir
ing a bullet (making exposurel is not
quite the same as at the time the bullet
reaches the machine. An aviator can
tell, however, fairly well by the direc-
ton the opposing aeroplane was going
as shown on the film, whether it would
have been hit IN vital spot or not
Thus, If the machine is pointed toward
the centre or dissection of the lines and
IS very close to the dissection the chances
of its having been hit would have been
very good. If the machine has been
shown in the same position with regard
to the centre point, but going away from
1t, the margin Of speed would probably
just about have saved it from being hit
In a straight pursuit q hit is indicated
when some vital part of the machine
covers up the centre of the field.
The gun camera is registered prom
erly in relation to the sights of the ma
chine gun TO which if is attached hv

some definite point certain distance
away, and then moving the camera 40
the point Of the bisecting lines Of the
graticule fall exactly on the point on
which the gun was sighted. The camera
IS then clamped securely to the machine
gun.
The value Of the gun camera IN t,,a,r
ing may be easily appreciated, and it IA
certain that aeroplane tactics will be
improved through its use, even in peace
times.

Helping

"Everybody's working with u.s." says Mr.
Mulligan, touching the home phases OF
the work. I'VE rather looked for let
ting up in interest with the cessation OF
actual fighting, but we have found none.
On the contrary, the folks who were go
anxious about the boys when there was
fighting are just as anxious now that they
be well taken care Of until they are safely
at home again and settled back into nor
nal life And everybody is just as willing
to work as when the war was at its height
some perhaps more anxious to work in
& spirit OF thanksgiving that their own are
safe and that peace is come again.

do and lots Of time to do it in are apt
to find themselves.
"The one sad feature Of the work is the
loss Of some of our men and the serious
injury Of many others. That, however, was
to be expected, and every man who went

One Of the managers of the camera fac
tory at once questioned the need Of
heavy separate gun camera with its big
lens barrel Why not have a special
camera attachment that could be fast
ened to the gun itself that the aviator
is continually using? The engineering
department of the company was given
the job Of answering the question-and
they did it. Not only did they build
camera that could be attached directly
to the gun in place Of the ordinary am
munition magazine, but they produced
camera that could make 100 exposures
on one loading, number equivalent to
100 rounds of ammunition, and like the
machine gun itself, fire in "bursts" and
continue firing automatically as long as
the trigger is under pressure.
The Gun Camera, Mark I, as it is
officially called, weighs only thirteen
pounds all told, and has a lens barrel
but 8 inches long and 2 u inches in
diameter. 1t is Of metal construction
throughout. The magazine Of the cam
era, in which is placed strip of film,
instead Of being circular, as is the car
fridge magazine CT the machine gun, is
oval shaped 1t is fitted with a Lewis
gun magazine lock, which completely
fastens the magazine to the gun camera
Soon after the gun camera was put
into use arguments developed as to
which aviator first "shot" the other,
where both showed "hits' on their film.
A timing device which would record the
time of each exposure was then de-
manded, and for n period this demand

with the necessity Of specialized train
ing for battling in the skies.
Aerial craftsmanship, in combat and
complicated by all the modern circus"
tricks of tail spins, loops and ICONS,
was naturally Of an entirely different
nature from that on terra frma. The
machine gun in q combat plane, ad-
justed on a doubly revolving frame
which permitted firing at any and all
angles, developed a new technique Of
shooting which, although extremely diff
fcult for instruction, was so essential to
air supremacy that its mastery was
recognized as the greatest problem Of
aviation.
Speed, dizziness and accuracy were
recognized as absolute essentials OF air
fighting. The skill of the individual, it
was realized meant not only the de-
struction Of his opponent, but the pro-
lection Of his own life, his own machine,
and more important, the safety Of the
Photographic and visual observations to
be carried back TO the intelligence head
quarters and the protection from enemy
observers Of military operations behind
the Allied lines
To eliminate from fighting units men
who lacked nerve and steadiness as
marksmen In the air-very different
shooting from that on tho ground-was
the great problem, and after many ex-
periments 1t was finally solved, surpris
ing as It may seem, by the use Of
cameras instead of gums in actual aerial
nanmuvres.

ing from the recoil, eject the empty car
fridge and automatically replace
loaded cartridge, so in order to continue
firing all one needs to do is to continue
pressure on the trigger. With the gun
camera it was determined that something
must be substituted for the force of the
cartridge charge and so use was made
Of a spring which is wound up with
handle similar to that employed in wind
ing up talking machine motors. The
spring is fastened directly to the shaft
that turns the 5-inch reel and through
a mechanism, called Geneva movement,
which causes ar intermittent action. TO
the shutter mechanism in the lens barrel.
Thus, as the film is moved steadily past
the light trap, the shutter opens and
closes for making the various exposures
to show the location Of the opening aero
plane, each opening occurring at the
time a machine gun bullet would have
been fired.
To facilitate spotting the shot from
the gun camera, q glass plate, called a
graticule, is placed in the barrel at the
focal plane in contact with the film
This plate is marked with vertical and
horizontal line passing through the
centre and one small circle which one
might say indicates the bull's-eye, and
two large circles drawn close together,
describing the outer field covered by the
camera. These circles and bsecting
lines are impressed on the film at each
exposure and the position of the opponent
aeroplane is indicated by means of them.
OF course, it must be realized that in
