A " CLEAR VIEW " SCREEN. SPINNING DISC OF GLASS* - One. of . the most ingenious inventions is the "clear-view screen," which a British firm prdduced for the benefit of navigators. Rain, spray, or renders it difficult or impossible to see through an ordinary porthole or other glass screen. The invention consists simply of a glass disc which forms part of the screen, and is rotated at so high a speed that any water 'or snow falling upon it is immediately spun off. The glass remains so clear that its rotation is extremely difficult to detect. This device has now been introduced on aeroplanes in order to assist the pilot when rain or snow is encountered. The disc is driven either by a small windmill fixed on one of the struts or by vanes fixed to the edge of the disc itself. When the aeroplane is travelling at 75 miles per hour the disc spins at 1200 revolutions per minute. At anything over 800 revolutions the glass will keep clear in all weathers.
