J., Feb. 19.—(P— Mr. Televox, the mechanical man, has come to the aid of aviators by making dangerous landings on un- lighted flying fleld unnecessary. In obedience to the note of a siren on an approaching plane the mechanical man turned on the flood lights at the Newark airport last night without the aid of human hands. Mr. Televox, whose name, free- ly translated, from the Greek and Latin means “distant voice,” demon- strated his ability as an airficld at- tendant when in repeated tests he flooded the new airport with 24. 000,000 candle power in response to the distant volee of a plane high in the air. Pete Bransom. air mail pilot, ap- proached the ficld from various di- rections and at different altitudes in"the tests, turning on a wind-driv- en siren as he neared. Each time the | sound of the siren reached the field. the mechanical man flashed on the lights. The device which gives Mr. Tele- vox the similitude of human re- sponse to sound is the combination of two recent inventions, the Knowles grid-glow and a vibrating veed selector. The vibrations set up in the reed selector when a sound of a certain pitch are impressed upon it are transmitted to the grid-glow converted into electrical energy and Mid-Winter Furniture Sale Ne\v designs -— new materials — new furniture pieces of every descrip- tion—AT SALE PRICES! durability and beauty of design is dis- played in every group.
