On this } of the flight the directional wireless should prove of the greatest value, since it is in an area wherein the magnetic pole may exert the greatest &nd least predictable influence on the compass needle. It is also & section of the flight most liable to fogs and of bad visibility. If it to check the e sections by wireless lled pilot could contemplate operation along this route in weather which at present would make it hazardous, The length of this route from Eng- land to New York is 4,500 miles and it is therefore longer than the most direct route. Its advantage lies in the fact that it can be divided into 600- mile stages for commercial purposes, and this would allow an airplane to carry much more freight than could be taken with the ‘arge hagd of gaso- line needed for the longer sea crossing. The “homing™ device which Grierson uses is a marconi direction finder. It consists of a loop aerial fitted within the wings in addition to a trailing aerial ordinarily used for aircraft wireless. ‘The instrument has a three-way switch which is normally kept in the central position. So long as the alrplane is headed toward a transmitting station no signals are heard in the head re- ceivers.

May Check Rectitude. Having steered back to his course, the pilot may check its rectitude by test- ing signals with the switch in the right and left positions until either position gives him signals equal in strength.
