MacReadys new record is 2,62O
feet higher than that of Schroeder,
and in this flight the pilot suffered
none of the hardship met by the
former chief pilot. Schroeder's
eye balls froze and excessive dila-
ton of the heart kept him in a
hospital nearly two weeks.
To Test Improvements.
Today's flight primarily was to
test improvements made on the
super-charger invented by S. A..
Moss, who witnessed the flight, and
also a new propeller of high pitch,
perfected by engineers at the local
field.
Capt. G. s. Z. A. Hallet, chief of
mechanical designing, and Moss
prepared the plane for flight and
every precaution was taken to pro-
vide auxiliary oxygen tanks for the
pilot.
On landing MacReady declared
he suffered nothing but numbness,
He climbed out of the plane unas-
sisted.
Ice Accumulates.
Accumulation of ice on the plane
at $4,000 caused one oxygen tank
to cease functioning, but auxiliary
tanks were brought into use. Mac
Ready was clothed in heavy furs
with special helmet and goggles,
covered with special gelatine. The

A centrifugal air compressor
operated by a gas turbine forms

flight possible. The turbine de-

pressure as air at sea level,
The biplane was designed in
January, 1918, by Captain LaPere,
