~§ _the presentation, which was recsived by Aviation News -~ BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON. fleld. A The new training ship, which arrived at the ark Wed- nesday, is scheduled to attract hundreds to the airport for inspection. Earl Steinhauer expr essed the opinion yesterday it would be a eater drawing card than anything that has been placed on exhibition at any f the local airports for some time. Iomtauatlon otrt‘)he new equipment marks another advancement 1n the progress of the local airports which have been striving to keep up with aeronautical developments. At the Alexandria airport, at Hybla Valley, Va., three new avia- tion students were enrolled during the week. They are Walter M. Macomber, Winsburg, Va.; A. H. Marks, radio manager of Doubleday- Hill Co., Washington, and Dallas Mitchell of the Howard Dry Clean- ing Co., Washington. Bill Payne of Hoover Field spend most of the week on a jaunt through the Midwest. his trip. Hingsburg Leaves Aviation. Reorganization of aeronautical a tivities of the Department of Com- merce, involving the transfer from the Bureau of Lighthouses to the aero- nautics branch of the airways division, has brought about the separation from the aviation organization of Capt. F. C. Hingsburg, for seven years chief engineer of the division. Capt. Hings- burg remains with the lighthouse service, in which he has served for many years. Capt. Hingsburg has been in charge of the airways division since the be- ginning of Federal aid work in behalf of civil aviation and has supervised the installation of approximately 19.500 miles of Federal airways into every corner of the United States. The work of the airways division under Capt. Hingsburg has made pos- sible the present leadership of the United States in airmail operations and in night flying, and has been re- sponsible to a large degree for the suc- cess of air' transportation. Capt. Hingsburg was a world pio- neer in the fleld of airway aids to air commerce. He was assigned by the Bureau of Lighthouses to begin the study of airway development before the | passage in 1926 of the air commerce act, which established the aeronautics | branch. He was the first Federal offi- cial assigned to work under the act, and the plans which he worked out, prior to the actual setting up of the aeronautics branch, became the basis for the great airways development Wwhich then began. He has had charge of and has been | directly instrumental in the develop- | ment of most of the aids to air trans- portation and civil aviation in the| United States and has had a great in- | fluence in the development of such aids in all parts of the world, having been ! consulted by aviation leaders of many ! of the nations which have followed this | country’s lead in the establishment of | airways systems. | Under his direction the division has built and lighted for night flying a | total of 19.500 miles of airways and has constructed a total of 385 lighted | intermediate landing fields, 61 radio | | communications stations, 68 radio range | beacons, 74 radio marker beacons, 13- | 500 miles of teletypewriter service, | 1623 revolving airways beacons and 365 flashing beacons. The airways di- vision has employed a maximum of | 2,000 persons. Capt. Hingsburg. a native of New York, makes his home here at 5118 Chevy Chase parkway. “Elevator” for Airships. The new mob'le, telescoping airship mast, which has been constructed at the new Naval Air Station, Sunnyvale, Calif,, future home of the U. S. S. Macon, may be used as an elevator to hoist the Macon from ground level to the greatest height of the mast, 160 feet, in overcoming the adverse effect on take-offs of a ground temperature inversion. Of course, the mast will not lift the entire weight of the airship, the actual | amount of lift probably not amounting to more than a few hundred pounds. The ability to lift the ship, however, may save the dumping of several hun- dred pounds of ballast or even of fuel in order to gain the added lift neces- sary to overcome the temperature in- version | The Sunnyvale mast is similar in ap- | earance to that developed at Lake- urst, N. J. Tt consists of a pyramidal framework of structural steel mounted on four railway trucks 80 feet apart in both directions. The minimum | height of the mast is 75 feet and the | maximum 160 feet. The mast has a| total weight of 300 tons. Extended to its greatest height, the mast can withstand a side pull of 40,000 pounds. In the low position it is designed for side pulls of up to 58,000 pounds. Power for operation of the mast along its tracks, for operating the mooring winch, and for telescoping the mast, is provided by electric mo- | He touched Detroit and other air centers on tors, current being furnished by a gasoline-driven generator mounted in the mast. Enough power is provided to exert a maximum pull of 25000 pounds on the mooring of 400 feet per minute. In addition to aiding the airship to take off under adverse conditions, the mast also enables mooring of the ship under the best conditions when gusty winds are encountered and gives more safety in the takesoff under gusty con- ditions. It also permits the accommo- dation of airships of various sizes. ‘The Macon, flown to Lakehurst a week ago following its acceptance by the Navy, probably will be taken to Sunnyvale early in the Fall. Radio Precision Obtained. Such precision has been obtained in the radio system developed by the De- partment of Commerce Aeronautics Branch for blind landings that an air- plane pilot a mile from the source of the runway-localizing beam can detect an error of as little as 30 feet in his Pposition. This means that on the great New- ark Airport, where the system has been installed for practical test purposes, a pilot approaching the end of the 4,000- foot runway, which is 500 feet wide, can put his wheels down with mechan- ical perfection, time after time, within a band only 30 feet wide at the center of 500 feet of runway, with 235 feet of safe runway space to either side. The blind landing system, in other words, has been developed to a point of refinement far in excess of that re- quired for actual safe operation. Hun- dreds of landings have been made by pilots flying in a hooded cockpit at Newark and at College Park Airport, Md., where the development work on the system was carried on. “Because of obstruction in the ap- proach at College Park,” it was ex- plained by the Bureau of Standards, which collaborated with the aerona ties branch in conducting the devel- opment work, “it was found necessary to provide a very precise and sharp runway-localizing course. The trans- mitting and receiving equipments were s0 adjusted that, at 5 miles from the beacon, a deviation from the course of approximately 200 feet could readily be detected, while at a distance of 1 mile a deviation of 20 feet was easily discernible.” Landing Path Fixed. The actual path of the beacon course was checked at College Park periodi- cally over a long interval, it was ex- plained, and was found to be fixed, re- gardless of weather conditions and ground conductivity. Obstruction in the approach at Col- lege Park also necessitated close con- trol of the landing path to keep the airplane out of danger. It was neces- sary to clear a house chimney, approxi- mately 1,500 feet from the edge of the field, by about 8 feet. The neces- sary fixed landing path necessary to clear the chimney within this narrow margin was obtained before the device was Bpproved for its service trials at Newark, though nothing like this de- gree of accuracy is required there or would be required at any of the first- rn}: nxnfim. ot only has far greater accura been obtained than is required for IE solute safety, but the possibility of variations due to interference or to changes in broadcast amplification due to deterioration of tubes and other por- tions of the equipment has been re- duced to a point where it is negligible for practical purposes, acccrding to the Sov]:rnmene experts in charge of the ork. “The results at Newark, where the landing path remained entirely con- stant for the past two months under 8 wide variety of weather conditions, confirms the foregoing data, particu- larly since not even a minor adjust- ment of the landing beam transmitter or of the landing beam receiving sets on the two test airplanes was re- quired,” the Bureau of Standards an- nounced.

A specially constructed build- ing, including & large drill hall for the ‘Winter training of the troops, has been sought by local Guard officials for many years, and, for nearly & quarter of a century, the matter has been before at almost every session. But today the local militia finds itself in make-shift buildings, the larger part of the force being billeted in the old National Hotel Building, at Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue. Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan has written to the Federal Employment Stabiliza- tion Board, recommending an allotment of $2,500,000 for the construction of an armory here, but as yet no reply has been received to the communication. It was said to be probable that the communication is being held to be con- sidered in connection with other sug- gestions for projects which are coming from various parts of the count try. Gen. Stephan, who is still confined | to Mount Alto Hospital, suggested that the construction plan cover a period of six years, from 1935 to 1940, and also pointed out that a site could be ob- tained for $300,000, or the District or Federal governments could assign a site on Government property without cost. No details as to site or suggestions for a location were recommended at this time. The attention of the Federal board was invited to several congressional documents which cover the situation in detail and to the plans which were made some years ago. It has been repeatedly pointed out to Congress, according to Guard officials, that the local National Guard is seri- ously hampered, and has been for some years, in its training facilities. It has frequently been forced to move from one rented building to another, and finally it has moved from one aban- doned Government building to another. These moves have been expensive, not only In the cost of moving the equip- ment, but because of the necessary re- modeling which has to be done in each building to suit the requirements of the ous_units. “’?‘he local militia, it was said, is the only Federal unit in the country.
