AVIA THE SUNDAY ST AR, WASHINGTON, TION BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON. HOUGH 1932 is little more t han two weeks old, it already has brought many important aviation developments; earnest of fulfillment of glowing predictions made for widespread aviation progress this year.

American aviators who established official flight records in any of the| recognized categories during 1931 have | been invited to the second annual Aero | Club reception and ball, to be held in | the Willard Hotel at 9 p.m., January 30. The first of these events, held last year, brought out many of the Nation's fore- most flyers and was so successful that it was decided to make the event an annual affair. The new record holders, who have been invited and some of whom al- ready have accepted, are Russell N. Boardman and John Polando, world airline distance record of 5,011.8 miles, flying from Floyd Ben- nett’ Field, N. Y., to Istanbul, Turkey July 28, 29, 30. ‘This flight also is the international airline distance record for airplanes, class C Walter E.

Scholter, American alti- | tude record for light planes of the fourth category, of 17,467 feet, at De- | troit, April 12.

Miss Ear- hart also was credited with a record for airplanes of class C for speed over a course of 100 kilometers with a load of 500 kilograms, 171.438 miles per hour, Detroit, June 25, 1930. A number of records, though not | recognized as official international or | American records, were listed as “mis- cellaneous records,” made under offi- cial timing and observation. These holders also have been invited and several of them have already accepted. Their records follow Wiley Post and Harold Gatty, round- the-world record for airplanes, leaving Roosevelt Field, N.

After much experimental work, fol- lowed by service trials, Ralph G. Lock- wood, Eastern Air Transport's chief en- gineer, of a muffler for airplane engines which | reduces noise approximately 70 per | cent and at the same time reduces| back-pressure by one - third. Many previous muffler designs have failed be- cause of the building up of pressures which reduce engine efficiency. The Lockwood muffler, after being used on trial for nearly three months, is to be installed on each of the big 18-passenger Condors operating on the coastal run through the National Capi- tal. This is believed to be the first time any transport line has developed a successful airplane muffler, One muffler is used for each cf the two engines. ‘The interior of the muffler takes the shape of a screw, or the rifling in a gun barrel, spinning the escaping gases, causing them to travel an additional 48 feet before | reaching open air and at the same time | providing two and one-half times the former cooling area. Increasing of the size of the mani- fold by 250 per cent permitted the | exhaust gases to expand and lowered the back pressure from the equivalent of 36 inches of water to 12!, inches, Mr. Lockwood reported. | “Prop” Noise Blamed. In the case of a majority of airplanes the greater part of the noise heard from the ground is due to the action of the propeller on the air and not to the motor. The fact that the big three- bladed propellers on the Condor engines ed down to relat low speeds much of the propeller noise d the big ships with muffled engines now fiy more quietly than any cf the transport types, it is ssid. Reduction of noise has been one of the big problems of aviation. As other phases have been improved, reduction | of noise has become relatively more and |more important. The Aeronautics Branch of the Department of Com- merce, through the Bureau of Stand- ards, been work for many months on means of reducing sound, has announced the completion | GE e HINGTON / NS 0\!7?”’ D, €, JANUARY 11, TRAVELS i 7 THe WINTER OF 1777-1778 WAs A TERQIBLE EXPERIENCE.

Noise | and vibration have proved a source of | i irritation to many passengers. Owing to the fact that in virtally all cases the predominating volume of sound is due to the propeller and not the engine, the Bureau of Standards has devoted much time to the sound- proofing of airplane cabins by utilizing layers of sound-deadening materials in the cabin walls, floor and ceiling. Many transport planes now are built with lined walls developed as & result of these studies. Some work also has been done with mufflers and gearing of propellers, but 50 far Eastern Air Transport is the only organization to adopt such de- vices for every-day use. Very Much Alive. Col. Frank P.
