\utiquated Method

Aviation enthusiasts m this Coun- try, he add,,i. 'rascd their doubt on what they term the antiquatcl method usrl in Italy 70 tune the speed of the racing planes, which results in an unusual discrepancy between the maximum and average speeds over thr three kilomcter course.
 'Wc cannot believe that Major Dcbernardi was such a poor pilot as to cause this discrepancy" he said
 Two months ago one worlds rec. ord was reported as being 291 miles an hour, and recently another S11 miles was reported, showing Joyce points out, that co miles an hour WAS added to an already eS- istine ship and engine in this short time. The speed increase was re- ported accomplished mainly by minor engine and plane modiiica- lions and certainly involving new designs so far as We know" he continued, adding that increasing he speed o( an already existing plane four or five miles an hour is a big engineering achievement.
 Timing Examined
 When this question of speed performance is proposed we nat urally turn to ;t close scrutiny of he methods which govern the, tim ing arrangements lie said. ''Thc loop system used by the Italians, he added. merely requires the use of stop watches gaueel to measure time only 10 one-tcnlh of second and that in a speed test. both from a physical and psychological stand point. an error in the record oi about II miles an hour is possible
 The Italian method, which is au- thorized by the Federation Aero. nautique International ''violates a fundamental principle" Mir Joyce claimed, as the time mus never be averaged over speed course. but Nclocitics must be aver. aged to get anything like accurate results
 The Italians are averaging time and can get practically any result they want,' he continued. "Thi: loose practice may stultify competi- ton. The cost of experiments neccs sary to get slight increases ir speed is so great that. in fairncs; 10 all concerned. one should know without doubt that any record, claimed were accurately timed"
 Discard Stop Watch
 The stop-watch system was dis carded in America seven years agt for an electrical device "hicl measures the speed to on hun dredth of d second. The SD" i.i ar' figured for each run and the aver age is taken, whereas under th' loop system the total time up ant down he course is all that is avail able, which is averaged and thcl changed into miles per hour.
