from the Federal Communications
Commission to prove his point.
His device was m of Britaln's
top-drawer wartime secrets. 1t was
Britain's because American engi-
neers told William ]. O'Brien, Chi
cago, its inventor, that it would
not work. O'Brien convinced the
Admiralty otherwise.
Here's what happens:
Air tracks-any number Of
them, in contrast with present
limitations-are laid out between
cities on a map. In instrument
weather, a pilot is assigned a
track. say between Washington
and New York. In his cockpit is a
dial and as long as he keeps the
needle pointing to zero he will fly
around all terrestrial obstacles, such
as the Empire State Building, and
come in directly over the airport.
If the airport is under a low cell
ing and landings are delayed, the
pilot flips a switch, keeps the
needle on zero and is shunted t.
an orbit where he can await land
ing directions.
Here's how it works:
Three radio transmitters are in
stalled on the ground to cover an
area about the size of that be-
tween Washington and Boston.
Their signals are picked up by .
3O-pound radio receiver in the
plane. Before take-off the pilot
inserts a roll of film in a track
control unit. On the film are spe'
cial marks applicable only to the
track allocated to the plane.
AS the film turns in relation to
the speed of the plans, the marks
work in conjunction with the eiec-
trical output Of the radio set te
control the needle on the dial
Keep the needle on zero and yol
will always follow a straight line
Deviatioas OF only 200 yards viii
show on the dial.
Toller-Bond says for ST. 900, 00I
he could lay out a track 300 mile
wide between New York and Lo!
Angeles. The advantage is that ii
bad weather a large number Of
planes could fly side by side with
safe spacing. Today they fly one
over the other at l,000-foot inter.
walls, a severely limited procedure
because of the likelihood of icing a
various altitude.
The device not only leads planes
to destinations, but guides then
over the runway or out into al
orbit when they wait to land. The
film for any given rack bear
marks for that purpose. II the con
troll tower operator, for instance
instructs the pilot to take ''orbit
TO-" he switches his orbit selectol
to No. 10, keeps the dial needle o:
zero, and automatically goes into
that orbit.
