mainly Of the Well-known panoramic
gun-sight, which possesses the quality
of maintaining an erect eye-piece i'm
age, even though the objective prism
is rotated. This is effected by the
simultaneous rotation Of a so-called
Doves prism through half the OBJ
jective's angle of revolution. The
eye-piece of the panoramic gun sight
is removed, and in its place is mounted
a tube and focusing screen, upon
which is engraved a lubber's line.
The clock k-work making one revolu-
ton in twenty-four hours turns the
objective prism at the same rate as
the suns motion in azimuth, so that
the image of the sun always indicates
the desired direction.
The pilot therefore sees in front Of
him on the focusing screen a small
clear picture of the sun, and, once
the instrument is adjusted, steers as
TO maintain the suns image on the
| central engraved line.
May RevOlutionize Navigation
Full particulars of this sun compass
has been given to the United States
Army and Navy and will probably be
used on the round-the-world army
planes. The Bureau of Aeronautics
had been working toward the same
idea in connection with the Shenan-
doah flight, but had not as yet got so
far. as to design an instrument. The
above instrument will be carefully
studied by the Aeronautical Advisory
Board and may be developed to be-
come an important factor in aero
nautical navigation in all latitudes.

n artificial sun has been created
a to overcome the greatest diff
10y sfculty in a trans-poIar flight
that of navigation in the Arctic re-
gions.
Whether the flight is made in dirigi-
BILE or airplane, the same obstacle is
encountered-that of keeping ones di-
rection.
For it is by the compass that the
navigator sets his course and holds
his direction. But in the high lati-
tudes, the earth's forces which act on
the compass I'm a directive manner,
become less and less. The ordinary
compass becomes more and more un-
reliable. Through the motion Of the
plane. the needle commences to spin
around and the compass becomes ut
terly useless.
The proximity Of the magnetic pole
furt hermore effects the magnetic COM
pass.
A gyro-compass suggested itself.
But this had TO be eliminated because
its directive force becomes zero at
ninety degrees North.
Takes Tip From Sun
Approaching these difficulties, and
realizing that his navigation plan
would only be feasible if he We're fur
nished with a reliable direction finder
in high ATTITUDES. Captain Amundsen
set out to devise a new type Of com
pass.
The sun itself is perfect substitute
FOR the ordinary means Of direction
finding in the Arctic but the rotation
Of the earth Is an inconvenience-th

First Hour

Operations for a rise were resumed
in several stocks in the first hour
when it became apparent that no re-
sumption Of Mondays professional
selling was threatened. Norfolk &
Western featured the rails mounting
to a new high since 1922 at 12OL
Prospect of a lease TO the Pennsyl-
vania Lines on a guaranteed dividend
basis was largely responsible for this
squirt. Associated Dry Goods led the
industrials by mounting to a record
price Of 10O15. The company's ex-
ceptionally liquid condition and high
rate OF earnings lay behind its rise.

sun does not maintain constant
azimuth. but moves around the
horizon once every twenty-four hours.
The thought of sun dial connected
with a clockwork presented itself as
a solution. So on a visit to Berlin in
January, Captain Amundsen and
placed the problem before Captain
Boykow. a prominent member Of the
scientific staff of the c. P. Goerz
Optical Works
With Amundsen's suggestion as a
basis. he constructed n working model
Of a sun compass which is astounding
IN, its simplicity and which perma-
nently eliminates any difficulty in
drecton-fnding in the Arctic during
the summer months.
In high latitudes the sun is con
tinually on the horizon from the
middle Of May until late August and
clouds and fog are no obstacles. as
the airplane can always ascend above
them.
Steers by Image
After having adjusted the new sun
compass to the desired direction, the
pilot steers according to the image Of
the sun produced by optical means
on dial before his eyes. without re-
gard to the real position of the sun;
or differently expressed, this artificial
sun Will keep the pilot in the desired
direction so that he may steer as on a
distant landmark.

course of the light rays through this

ically. The instrument consists

Noon Hour

Except for the action of Magma Cop
per in reaching new high ground on
the movement at 1873 in response to
news that work viii be begun on its
new smelter next week, the list re
mained quiet during the noon deal
ings. The volume of trading dwindled
perceptibly as did enthusiasm Of
either bullish or bearish nature. There
was practically no selling pressure,
neither was there any show Of ag-
gressiveness by those who have fos-
tered the current recovery in the main
body of stocks.
The Indianapolis times., 1924-03-11
Second Hour

Wire trouble added to the dullness
prevailing in the late morning and
trading dragged in an uninteresting
fashion around noon. The apathy fol-
lowing in the wake of the recent pro
fessional drives against leading indus
trials was even more effective than
the wire trouble in holding the market
dull. Specialists books in the active
issues remained almost bare of orders.
Although speculative buying was at a
low ebb, there is more public buying
for investment purposes than there
are sellers willing to part with their
holdings.
