Henrickson said each instrument Is
given flight history test" In which
temperature and pressure and their
rates Of change In a given flight are
simulated.
Two paragraphs are carried In aiti-
tude flights In order to insure at least
one good record The wisdom OF this
procedure has been demonstrated re-
neatedly, but never so startlingly as In
the memorable balloon ascent OF Capt.
Hawthorne g. Gray of the Army Air
Corps. on November 4, 1927, when he
shattered all foreign records and for
the second time In six months touched
an altitude Of 42.4T0 feet, the highest

esta Of ineteoroiogy. radio and paysi-
