PHILADELPHIA, Feb. l4.-Reg-
ular daily flying passenger service
back and forth across the Atlantic
will be an accomplished fact in 1926.
And the trip-each way-will be
made in about 80 hours!
This is the belief of Edward Il.
Armstrong, II noted engineer, await
or and inventor of Philadelphia, who
has Just completed plans outlining
in detail the establishment of this
extraordinary service.
He proposes to construct eight gi-
gantie stations which Will be anchor
ed at intervals of 400 miles across
the Atlantic ocean. BY methods
which he has perfected it VIII be
possible to anchor these stations in
fixed places aud stabilize them so
they will be free from the roll and
pitch which even the most mammoth
ocean liners are subjected to.
Each station or 'seadrome' will
be 1900 feet long, 400 feet wide, and
have platform of ll12 acres on
which the seaplanes will alight. A
crew of about 125 men will be sta
toned on each seadrome. There viii

euent through greater congestion of
tra fife, there has been a long felt
want for some device TO aid in this
operation. The gear shift lever that
is ineonvenient for the operator to
reach, places her at "A disadvantage

This difficulty has been overcome,

to "a gear shift extension that fast

loutic will be south of line that dl-
vides the ocean into what might De
called two weather parts;' south
of this line the ocean is free of 70
per cent of the hazards caused by
fog, storms and icebergs.
Armstrong says that so far AS the
FLYING phases of his plan are con
cerned there is not Il detail that is
not already an accomplished fact.
His two really new contributions are
