It would be maintained in the true

1900 Feet Landing Surface.
The full sized "seadrome" would be
1920 feet long, 200 feet wide at each
end and 400 feet wide at the center
portion, on either side of which would
be buildings. The 1900 feet landing
surface for planes is ample without any
arreSting device, Armstrong believes,
because of the fiat surface Of the ocean
which permits illimitable low flight
approach.
The first of these large "seadromes"
would be placed in service between New
York and Bermuda, off the Virginia
Cspes, and would break the New York
Bermuda flight into two 325-mile hops.
Armstrong believes 400 miles the ideal
ocean flight hop. His plans for trans
atlantic service with the use of sea
dromes" call for seven of them at equal
intervals across the Atlantic between
New York and Europe.
The entire cost of this bridging" the
Atlantic with "seadromes" and planes
would be between $4,000, 900 and 3d.
900, 900, or about half the cost of mod
ern ocean liner, Armstrong estimates.
Plan Chesapeake Tests.
AS soon as all the data available
with the model Seadrome in its
present anchorage are obtained by
Armstrong and his assistants, they plan
to take it out to Chesapeake Bay, where
waves more nearly like those encoun-
tered in the Atlantic will be met and
where Armstrong expects to make his
final computations for the margin of
safety factor for the regular sized sea
drome"
To allow the regular sized "seadrome"
to be towed to sea, Armstrong has de-
vised means whereby the lower, ballast
tanks, can be telescoped with the upper,
buoyancy tanks, to lessen the sea
dromes" draft and facilitate towing. At
sea the tanks will be let down to the
full ITO feet of underwater structure
on which the "seadrome" will float.

the newest model seadrome is that 1t

Wilmington, DEL" the inventor de-
clared. THAT shows that our ideas are
correct and that we can now go ahead
and enlarge the Seadrome to the full
size"
The scale model Seadrome, one
thirty-second of the full size, is moored
in about Is feet of water about a fourth
of a mile off Oakley Beach, near Cam
bridge, Md, with a small observatory
barge anchored nearby. in which Arm
strong and his two assistants, Robert
Vail and Capt. Theodore Markham, are
taking constant observations of the
models behavior
The wind since the launching of the
model has ranged from 20 to 30 miles
an hour and the waves from IL to 10
inches. The waves, Armstrong explains,
would increase in direct ratio with the
increase in the size of the seadrome,
while the wind velocity would run up
about Sc times if the full sized sea-
drome was subjected to conditions
proportionate to those which the model
is riding out now on the Choptank.
Roll Is Barely Perceptible.
Only barely perceptible rolling mo-
ton stirred the model seadrome at the
height of yesterdays wind about 80
miles an hour. The broad deck of
the device would rise slowly OCCASION
ally with a puff of wind catching it
away from the prevailing quarter and
lifting the deck from the unprotected
underside. The motion is gradual and
would not exceed or degrees at any
time, Armstrong declared.
The 'seadrome" is nothing more than
a fiat surface set upon about a score
of long legs. about midway of each
of which is an air tank fer buoyancy,

GENERALIZATION

IS ADVANCED
Council Committee Reports,
Naming Means to Cut
Car Expenses.

Capitalization of all city motor
equipment was recommended by the
city council subcommittee as a
means Of eliminating needless "high-
priced automobiles"
The committee headed by John F.
White urged that the incoming ad-
ministration take some step to CEN
tralize motor equipment, eleminat-
ing some of the expensive cars now
maintained by various departments.
Councilmen have commended that
the machines purchased by various
departments could be reassigned
daily instead Of being used only
when certain official desired them,
thereby reducing the total number
Of machines, although the present
efficiency would be maintained.
Motorization Of the street COM
nlissioner's department by Street
Commissioner Charles A. Grossart
was commended by the committee.
The Report in part:
1.-THE charge of excessive In
creased costs for gasoline the COM
nnittee believes is unfounded, and
is generally accounted for by addi-
tional pieces of equipment made
necessary for street cleaning and
street repair work some of which
are heavy users of gasoline.
"It does not appear that there is
any warrant to the conclusion that
purchases have been made in
wholesale lots or outside the regular
channels, except such as are in
volved in this investigation"

Atlanta Pilot Expects to
Better Hawks Record
Next Spring.
BY FOSTER EATON,
United Press staf Correspondent

ATLANTA Dec 6. 49, Some time
next spring when the elements be-
tween Los Angeles and New York
return to normally, Doug Davis,
crack Atlanta pilot, expects to fly
the distance in about twelve hours.
The record, now held by Captain
Frank Hawks, is close to seventeen
hours.
But that fact apparently offers
little obstacle to the man who re-
Gently clipped three hours from the
record of seven hours thirty min
utes for the trip from New York to
Atlanta.
He used a Travelair mystery"
ship bullet-like monoplane which
looks like a bum cle-bee upside down,
but which functions with unprece-
dented efficiency.
Won 1929 Cup
Davis won the cup for Americas
most meritorious fier of 1929 in the
same projectile-ike craft at the
Cleveland air races. He was in New
York early in November and wanted
to enter it in an air-race in At
1anta
So he took breakfast in Gotham
and lunch in Georgia, actually fly
ing the 800 miles in four hours
and thirty minutes through rain
and fog. The entire trip required
five hours, with two stops OF fifteen
minutes each for fuel.
Davis believes his Mystery ship
has greater possibilities than any
similar craft eXtant, believes It's
highly developed maneuever-a ability
and excessive speed would make it
an invulnerable fighting unit in
time Of war.
Fly Straight Up
He told the United Press that
shortly he expects to open its
throttle somewhere in the vicinity
of the ground. point its nose "abso-
Iutely straight up" and cut swift
" heavenward for one solid mile at
an angle of 100 degrees.
Already he has climbed to 5000
feet in that manner after a ESQ
mile an hour start. Present equip
ment of the plane, he said, does
not permit more altitude because
Of gas tank adjustment, which he
expects to alter.
The plane can take off at an
angle greater than as degrees and
hold 1t "all the way to the ceiling"
Davis said. st believe it is unques-
tionably the fastest climbing plane
