S T TRIBUTES TO WARBURG. | President Hoover and Others Ply‘ Honor to Jewish Philanthropist. { Working on Development of Equipment. Screen in Cockpit Showing Airport and Plane Thought Possible. ‘ S, | By the Associated Press. GLOUCESTER, Mass, May 28— Radio “eyes” for airplanes to permit the conquest of fog, the greatest peril | facing fyers, are a possible development | to aid aviation, in the belief of John | Hays Hammond, jr., inventor. | The use of television to transmit a | picture of the landing field to a screen in the cockpit of a plane flying above is the principle involved, the inventor | said. A dot or speck moving across | the screen would indicate the aviator's | position, | Hammond explained last night, in | announcing his discovery, that nothing has been actually accomplished yet and that it has to do with certain possible developments in the future. his work followed that of Dr. E. F. W. Alexanderson of the General Electric Co. Last week Dr. Alexanderson demon- strated that television could be sen | across at least one mile of space for | reproduction on a screen six feet square. | Going into the details of his proposed plan more fully, Hammond said that | his method would be to set up a tele- | vision station at an airport capable cf‘ sending out an exact picture of the | airport and surrounding locality, in- cluding hills, hangars, trees and obstructions. The next step, learning the position of the airplane, he said, could be de- termined by radio compass stations | located about the landing -field and | equipped with direction finders. An automatic radio transmitter sending | from a plane could be picked up by the | stations and the position of the plane learned at all times by plotting the | intersection of the messages. | Such a position, in the form of a dot or speck, he continued, could be | placed upon the picture of the airport | and sent by television to an aviator in a plane flying above. | Hammond has many i entions to| his credit in the fields of radio teleg- | raphy and telephony and wirelessly | controlled torpedoes. He was born in | San Francisco in 1888, and is a grad- uate of Sheffield Scientific School of | Yale University and George Washington University. | THIRSTY GOLFER PLEA IS MADE BY BRITISHER Asks Royal Licensing Laws Group to Allow Alcoholic Drinks Between Rounds.
