LINCOLN, MONROE-HIS DISCIPLES
When the colonies of South America, inspired by
his Declaration Of Independence began to move to-

his spirit famed with the enthusiasm of his youth,
IN his voluminous correspondence find him follow

this Is signhcant-he declared 1t hemisphere tri-

famous Summary View" he had said that colon.sts
who redeem the wilderness entitled to the deter

One day he sat under the trees at Monticello read-

cussed It's contents with his favorite disciple Jeer-
son hailed 1t with acclaim And he wote that 1t did

With the revolutionary struggle crowned with sue

In the Constitutional convention, Jefferson was
shocked to find that while provision made for a

proper course, the cross hairs will
follow the target.
In lining up the cross hairs, the
bombardier uses four knobs which
he manlpulates with his right hand.
Two OF them bring the telescope TO
bear on the target; the other two
adjust the ships course to jibe with
that bearing. The sight adjusts
the course automatically for cross
wind drift.
The course is controlled either by
a device attaching the sight to an
automatic pilot which guides the
ship mechanically as the bombadier
twists his knobs, or by a pilot d.
rection indicator" which moves a
needle in the cockpit as the knobs
are turned, showing the pilot how
to adjust the course.
After he has set the cross hairs
at the point where they appear to
be stationary on the target, the
bombardier has done most OF his
job. He shouts Bombs away!"
through the interphone to the pilot,
who takes over the ship and heads
for home.
There Is little difference In the
operation when the sight Is used
to bomb a moving target. Here
again, the telescope Is trained until
the target appears to be fixed at the
cross hairs intersection.
The sight under such conditions
automatically makes compensations
for three motions the plane it.

He can be right most OF the time by
watching the wake.
The accuracy OF the Noixlen sight
becomes more amazing when you
consider that from q plane moving

The enemy undoubtedly has cap
tured several Of the famous Norden
bomb sights and for that reason the
secrecy surrounding the intricate
device has been relaxed somewhat,
according to Col. John P. Kenny.
commandment of the Air Forces
Bombardment School at Midland,
Texas.
But he added that there was no
cause for alarm because 1t would
take Axis scientists two years or
more to duplicate the bomb sight.
Kenny said 1t was inevitable that
one of the Norden sights should fall
into the hands of the enemy because
1t Is carried In nearly all Of the
American bombers which penetrate
deep into enemy territory. Some OF
the bombers do not return and It
Is not always possible for the bonn
badier TO carry out his oath too de-
stroy the Nordon sight rather than
permit 1t to fall into enemy hands.
The Norden sight has several
thousand parts. Cadets learn enough
about 1t to make superficial repairs
but bombsight men defy cadets or
anyone else TO take one apart and
put It together again without
months of careful training.
The bomb sight is mounted d.
rectly behind q special piece OF thick
glass In the bombadier's compart-
ment In the nose OF the plane, IT
has three ball-like elements. all
encased In black metal. One ele-
ment containing the telescope and

left on the same level; the third.
directly under the gyrOscope.
Taken apart, the sight becomes
a great confusion OF mirrors, prisms,
lenses. gears, cams, wires, bearings
and countless other tiny parts
making It easy to understand why
the following Is becoming @ popu-
lar gag among airmen:
GONE day they'll be giving com,
missions 10 the bOInbsights and
leaving the bOoInbadiers at home"
Once you get the sight trained
on the target-and II takes q good
bombadier only rs seconds OF level
flying TO do that-you literally
can't miss,
Here, roughly, S how the bonn
bardler uses the sight:
Before beginning the run on the
target. he sets the sight for the
chosen altitude and air speed, ad-
Jlists Its gyroscope 70 spin with 'ts
axis perpendicular TO the ground,
lines ND the sight with the planes
true direction and prepare the
bombs for dropping.
When the Flin begins, the BON
bardleg takes command OF the ship.
During the next 70 seconds, the
maximum time allowed IN most com
bat runs. he becomes extremely
busy,
squinting through q telescope,
which Is part OF the sight. his OBJ
pectiye Is 10 line up two cross hairs
inside the telescope no that they
Intergect across the target. Then
he adjusts the sight 80 that even ~
