mechanic, came to Dick with a
problem. More than q problem,
an actual physical instrument
that had been called into being
by Dicks Imagination. Dick
looked at it with creators ap-

The apparatus was simple. A
tank, not unlike an aeetylene gas
tank, was connected with flexible
tubing at one end capable of
reaching from the cockpit OF a
plane to the tail. At the other
end OF the tank was connected q
valve controlled by 4 trigger.
There now remained only the
task Of filling the tank according
TO the formula he had devised
after talking to a Young chemist
the previous season, and embel-
fishing 1t with certain additions

Ericsson, who was stationed at
Henshaw Field on the Western
run, to receive signals.
Dick worked out the code. He
would send the familiar Morse. a

He tried it out on his next run.
