U. s. HAS ROBOT
 AIMING DEVICE
Latest Tanks Equipped With Invention; Shoot-
 ing Accuracy Amazing

Washington, D. C., July 22-Tests in actual combat and on proving grounds have demonstrated the ability of newly developed robot aiming device to increase by several hundred per cent the shooting ac- curacy of new Army tanks while in motion, it was disclosed here today
 The robot, known as a gyro-stab- ilizer, was developed by the Vest inghouse Electric & Manufacturing company in answer to request made to American industry by the Army Ordnance Department. Pro- duction of the stabilizer now is matching the output of all the na7 tion's tank manufacturers.
 '"The stabilizer enables gunners in American tanks to fire accurately even while racing at full speed over the shattered terrain of a battle field" General L. H. Campbell, Jr chief of ordnance, Army Service Forces, explained, adding:
 Not only do the high-velocity 75- NM. guns in our M-3 medium tanks (called General Grants by the Brit ish far and away out-range the best the Germans have, but we can fire this high velocity 75-MM. gun when the M-3 tank is in motion, which is more than any enemy tank, what ever it's size, can do. We fire our main armament in tanks when the tanks are in motion, regardless of speed, and we hit the target.
 Despite the pitch of the tank, the stabilizer keeps the gun barrel at a fixed elevation and the target within focus of the gunner's teles- copic sight. The gunner can fire quickly and effectively, making only slight, manual adjustments when necessary
 Under conditions paralleling &C., tual combat, the stabilizer has dem onstrated it's ability to increase a moving tanks firing accuracy mate rially, in some cases as much as several hundred per cent.
 Made-in- America Blitzkrieg
 "The advantage in striking force gained by Americas tanks is clear. The Germans have won their smashing blitzkrieg victories by a skillful combination of fire and movement. Progressing in groups in a zigazg advance, they cover each others advance by alternating at firing from standing positions.
 "This in effect immobilizes one half the tanks participating in an offensive while the other half is ad- vancing. American tanks equipped with the stabilizer are able to ad- vance simultaneously and fire with greatly improved accuracy.
 "The new control gives American tanks still another great advantage A tank that must come to dead stop to fire accurately itself becomes an excellent target for enemy air. planes and artillery. Since American tanks can be always in motion, they make difficult targets"
 The stabilizer, in effect, places the tank gun on a floating" mount so that the gun barrel remains at a fixed elevation regardless of the dipping and bucking of the tank. More sensitive than a carpenters level, it overcomes violent upward bucks and downward pitches as tanks race over rough ground.

MERIDEN PLEASED
 WITH RECOGNITION
New Liberty Ship to Be Christened "The Silver
 City"

Meriden, July 22-This city will be perpetuated in the annals of American Naval history through the naming of Merchant Marine ship "The Silver City," in honor of the Army Navy "E" award to Interna- tional Silver company employees here on July 27.
 Word hasc been received from Admiral Emory s. Land, chairman of the Maritime Commission, that dedication of Liberty ship to Mer- iden and the International Silver company 'E'' award celebration has met with the admiraps approval and has been passed on by him to the committee for the selection of ship names.
 Leaders in business, labor, politics, and social life ln this city today were delighted over the prospects of having one of the nations ships named after Meriden.
 Mayor Francis R. Danaher, com- menting on this possibility said: "This honor bestowed on our city would in a measure pay tribute to the patriotic people of Meriden, who have Wholeheartedly responded to the many war appeals. feel that particular credit in this instance should be given to the employees of International Silver, because, were it not for their 'E' award, Meriden might not have been recognized by naval leaders as one of the most important war production centers in the United States
 Until the committees final action on naming the ship "T'he Silver City, is known, plans for christen- ing naturally cannot be formulated, but many of this citys pretty girls have indicated that they would like to break a bottle of champagne over the bow of a "Silver City"
