INVENTION Device - Perfected by the Chief Car- tographer of the National Geoara phic Society to be Used in Remak- ing Maps of France for American Al lerist: a In modern warfare, with high-pow- er, long-range guns operating by in- diect fire upon an unscen objective, rot even the quality of powder, the explosive power of the projectile’ charge, or the accuracy of the can- ron's Tifling is of more importance than the absolute accuracy of the war maps with waich the exact positions of batterles, supply depots. and troop concentration centers are located. The redrawing and ccrrection of errors in the existing maps of France and Bel- gium is one of the most vital labors upon twhich the engineers of the American army are now engaged. For_the expedition of this werk the War Department has accepted a uni- que invention known as the Rums:cad Map Projector, designed and perfect- ed by A. H. Bumstead. chief cartogra- pier of the National Geographic So- ciety. Three of the Bumstead projec- tors, which *he inventor has declined to patent. the idea being dona‘ted to government use, have been delivered to the War Department where they have been fully tested and found to be absolutely accurate. These three rrojectors, made of nickled brass will meet all the present needs of the urmy topographical staff. By means of these, parallels and meridians, the bases on which all jmportant fleld manp: are constructed, can be “laid_down in twenty minutes wheve the drdinary method requires from three to four hours. In additicn, by the use of this cevice the possibility of error through miscalculation is eliminated entirely. the whole process - being mechanical The projectors aro corrected to one | five-hundredth of an inch. and as the zcale to which they are made is one te 20,000 (about - three inches to the m.ile), there could not occur from the use of this projector an error of more than 40 inches in any calculated dis- | i ! i i |1 HIS BABY DOLL, Komedy MONDAY, TUESDAY AUDITORIUM The House of Features AND WEDNESDAY J.
