AID TO AVIATORS
Wind Recording Devices Are
Installed by the Navy.
Velocity Is Recorded by Merely
Pressing Button.
CBy the Associated Press1

Washington, Aug. 1S.-A new aid
to aviators in the vicinity of Washing
ton is offered by the bureau of aero
nautics of the navy department in the
announcement of the installation on
the 7O0-foot radio tower at Arlington,
across the river from this city, of wind
recording devices for the benefit of
fliers primarily.
a mast has been erected on the
tallest Of the three towers on which IS
a six foot wind vane, which, by cleo
trical connections. records in the Of
flee every vagary of the wind currents
at that altitude. The records. II Is
said Will be of exceptional value TO
airmen in showing the more constant
currents of the upper air. The record
ing device not only shows the dtrec-
ton of the wind, and Keeps conUnu-
Gus record of the YelOcitles at all
hours, but indicates the velocity on
pressing a button. BY counting the
number of buzzes per minute the
velocity can be read at any time.
Take Place of Balloons.
The continuous record of wind
veIocities at zoo feet above the ground
will be material aid to aerial naviga-
ton over this territory, especially
when rigid and nOnrigid airships are
in flight Formerly, in order to get
the wind velocity and direction, small
rubber balloons, hydrogen filled, were
at intervals of one minute with
theOiOIite The angles when plotted
showed the speed and directions of
the winds that drifted the balloons at
each attitude. The height of the
balloons at the termination of each
minute of flight was predetermined
by the weight of the rubber and the
amount of ballast lifted The balloons
were usually inflated so that they
wou. d rise at the rate of 200 meters
per minute. When the sky was clear
and clOudless they were often fol-
lowed, thru the instrument, to heights
of 900 feet or more
There are often times when the
fog. low clouds, rain or snow inter-
fcres with the observation Of the bal
looms so that the advantage of having
wind instruments on high towers is
apparent. While the pilot balloon
method is still widely used elsewhere,
IN the near vicinity of Washington
prospective flierS need only telephone
u the recording office to receive the
readings at any momnt
Determine Air Condition.
The triple register, as it is called,
al makes a continuous record of
sunshine. The transmitter. placed
near the wind mast, ind Gates on the
register every minute of bright sun
shine that strikes the tower. The pur-
pose of the instrument is to show
whether or not there is sunshine or
C-oud above any low hanging clouds
O.. fogs that may prevail near the
ground.
Continuous records at 700 feet
above the ground level will be COM
pared with those taken at various sta
tions at the ground level. one of which
Is at the foot of the ARLINGTON tower,
and will be useful in deteI mining the
Increase of wind with altitude. The
Gata VIII also be of value to engineers,
the department says, in using the
readings for the determination of wind
treasures on structures
