We arc equipped for that with an aviation sextant. Mrs. Lindbersh will make servations. Speed to Be Computed “Our speed at high altitudes will be computed from the drift indica- tor on the plane. We will seek alti- tudes anywhere from 10,000 to 20,- 000 feet to test the possibilities of high air currents for commer passenger flights.” I'ree balloon tests of high altitude wind currents are being made daily, the colonel said, by Maddux Air Lines and government weather and radio stations at scattered points along the route. Reports of these tests will be compiled just before the flight in an effort to assist in locating the fastest high current of air. Colonel Lindbergh said he wished | to cmphasize that the flight is not planned for a spe record, . but chiefly to aid trans y He pointed out that conclusions of last- ing benefit could not be made from one step, and that the first experi- ment is to be made because he be- lieves that fast express and passcn- ger planes will make increasing.use in the future of altitudes above 10.- 000 feet. The flight also is designed test a new super-charger, neces- sary equipment for plancs flying at higher altitudes. No Definite Date Set No definite date has been set for | e start on the trip.
