THE BRAIN-CENTRE OF ITALIAN AERONAUTICS.—A general view of Guidonia, which has been built on a site near the famous flying ground of Monte Celio about fifteen miles from Rome, showing two of the many magnificent new laboratories and testing stations, each devoted to a different phase of the worl( of research. Below: This concrete building is over 500 yards in length and is employed for experimenting with model seaplanes for the purpose of finding out how they will act under varying conditions. The tank is equipped with special machinery for producing artificial Waves, and the model is drawn through the Water by being attached to the arm of an electrically-operated carrier, which can attain a speed of approximately 65 miles per hour. An ingenious apparatus stills the artificial waves almost instantaneously at the conclusion of each experiment.
