STATIONS FOR
OCEAN FLYERS
E. R. Armstrong Suggests
Anchored Landings for
Atlantic Planes
HAVE PLATFORMS
EVERY 500 MILES

p. r. Armstrong. an engineer. OF
Wilmington. has proposed a plan
for anchoring alrplane stations in
the Atlantic Ocean to provide land
ing places for planes in flights be-
tween the United States and Eng
land. His proposal is described and
Illustrated by Wilfred S. Ogden in
Popular Science Monthly.
Stations at 5O0-mile intervals and
anchored IN water three miles deep.
will make transatlantic flying prac-
tical, II IS argued. and air liners
may carry passengers and freight
rom New York TO London In "a 20
S6 hours. In summarizing the sug-
gesuons the Literary Digest says the
Armstrong method departs from the
customary methods OF linking the
anchor directly to the vessel by
cable. This Is impracticable. be-
cause the great weight Of three miles
OF cable would seriously hamper the
movements of the ship in response
to wind and waves.
Instead. the inventor attaches his
cables to an anchorage float, similar
to the buoys used as channel mark
ers. but so proportioned that its dis
placement Is greater than all COM
bined submerging forces TO which It
might be subjected. To this float
is attached the anchoring cable OF
such weight. strength and length
that the lifting effect Of the float.
added to the maximum force OF the
anchored vessel pulling against 1t is
insufficient TO raise all of the cable
to the bottom. The anchorage float
is attached to the floating airplane
station itself.
"The inventor" says Mr.. ogden,
proposes to equip the sea stations
with fiying-decks $50 feet broad and
500 feet long. available alike as
landing fields for small single-seat-
ed racing land airplanes or multi
motored, heavy tonnage flying boats.
Each station also would have its
radio equipment and operators
trouble ships to rescue disabled air
planes forced to descend to the water
between stations, floating landing
platforms for the benefit of sea-
p4oAtS' NoHiPActS Crews VI 4iltNiAaiA+e9f
spare pilots. and meteorological per-
sonnel and instruments. including
kite balloons for conducting weather |
observations.
The vessels would also contain /
quarters for housing I

Or inclement weather obtaining at !
