Armstrong, chief re- search engineer for the E. I. Du- Pont de Nemours and company's mechanical experimental division, and inventor of & seadrome which is #0on to be given a test under ocean conditions. Mr. Armstrong was quoted by the Philadelphia Public Ledger today as having announced that work would be started within 50 days on a test model seadrome and that planes ‘were well under way for the organi- zation of a trans-Atlantic aviation company. Pointing out that Captain Charles A. Lindbergh was familiar with the seadrome, Mr. Armstrong was sald to have Intimated that Lindbergh might head the flving or- ganization. | The test model seadrome will be 150 feet square and will be anchored along the steamship lanes 500 miles north or east of New York. Small models already have proved worka- ble, the Public Ledger sa: and ehould the test model prove satis- | factery it is proposed to build eight seadromes, each 1200 feet long and 400 feet wide, at a cost of ap- proximately $1,500.000 each. The landing flalds would be an- chored at 400 mile intervals and would not only act as gasoline st tion for aircraft, but would be pro- vided with hotel accommodations for an overnight stop, according to Armstrong. They also would afford observation stations for weather re- ports. Describing the seadromes, Mr. Armstrong was quoted as follows: “The great ballast weights are placed far below the surface of the #¢a, where the wave action is almost negligible. Above is open stoel work, something like that of a pier. The movement of the waves carries them through without affecting the land- ing deck, which remains lavel, how- ever stormy and rough the sea may become. Then from the bottom of the device one or more steel cables, built to stand a stress double that which they ever will be called on to prove in actual practice, lead to anchors on the ocean bottom.” Further quoting Mr. Armstrong, the Public Ledger says: 'Within five years airplanes wfll‘ | successful flight trom New “I feet it is safe to predict that within ten years most great Atlantic steamships will abandon the carry- ing of passengers. They will not be able to compete with us. Our prices will be virtually the same as theirs, and our time will be 24 hours instead of five days. “We have worked ou the com- parative costs with great care. Even with the heavy overhead of today. the cost ‘for each passfnger mile shouid not be more than five cents, and we confidently expect to cut it to three. We will charge ten cents a mile—because we can get it. “The bu is already wait Commercial aviation across the lantic is at hand R BYRD INSISTS ON FLIGHT TO PARIS Praises Lindbergh But Iusists Scientilic Data Is Lacking Paris he purpose of and practical _pbservati mander Byrd in ment with Grover A.
