and research work Is now in progress
at the radio laboratories of the bu-
reau on a number Of features which
will improve the present installations

A method is being developed by
means of which pilot may determine
his course by observing pointer.
Another innovation being developed
is an interlocking type of eQui-signal
beacon by which a pilot may hold to
a definite course. with low power
beacon to produce distinctive radio
signal at about every 25 miles along
his course.
The bureau is also working on a
new type of radio transmitting APP

may be given to pilots in flight.
The radio beacon to- be installed at
College Park is Of the type developed
by the bureau in 1921 with inter
locking and goniometer features which
have been added by Signal Corps en-
gineers.
1t will be installed at one corner
of the field. with a 7o-foot wooden
tower to be constructed to hold the
antenna system. This tower will be
painted brilliant yellow so 1t may
readily be seen by pilots coming into
