Stabilizer Keeps
Tank Gun on Target
Weapon Held at LeueI
When Racing TOWARD Foe.

WASHINGTON.-Tests on proving
grounds and in combat have DEM
onstrated the ability of new robot
aiming device to increase by several
hundred per cent the shooting accu-
racy of new army tanks while in
motion.
The robot, known as a gyro-
stabilizer, was developed by the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing company in answer to a re-
quest made to American industry
by the army ordnance department.
Production of the stabilizer now is
matching the output Of all the ma
tons tank manufacturers.
1.-THE stabilizer enables gunners in
American tanks to fire accurately
even while racing at full speed over
the shattered terrain OF battle
field" Gen. L. H. Campbell Jr.,
chief of ordnance, army service
forces, said.
mot only do the high-velocity IS
MN. guns in our Ms tanks (called
General Grants by the British far
and away outrange the best the Ger
mans have, but we can fire this high
velocity IS nm. gun when the M-3
tank is in motion, which is more
than any enemy tank, whatever its
size, can do" General Campbell
said. "We fire our main armament
in tanks when the tanks are in mo-
ton, regardless of speed, and we
hit the target.
Under conditions paralleling ac-
tual combat, the stabilizer has DEM
onstrated its ability to increase
moving tanks firing accuracy ma
terially, in some cases as much as
several hundred per cent"

A year or so ago the Kenne-

east of town to be used as a site
for an aluminium plant. Its estab-

ally a contracts were
let, all arrangements made and
everything set for a huge industry.
But something happened some
where and the plans were changed
to Spokane or somewhere and
the local plant didn't 60. 1890
Now, there is an insistent de-
mand, apparently, for further ex-
pansion of the light metals in
dustry to be located somewhere in
the Pacific northwest. Spokane
papers have been running daily
features concerning it. Seattle
wants it and so does Spokane, but
Spokane is willing to compromise,
according to the stories, and locate
it at Pasco. ~... .
Sec. Geo. D. Peters of the local
chamber of commerce doesn't
fancy this idea, either. He thinks
it should be located at Kenne-
wick, Of course, where it was
originally planned and sees no
reason why the community should
not insist that the location be put
where it belongs. He thinks the
chamber of commerce ought to do
something about it and was will
ing to got to bat about it. He
was given the chance. .
