An electronic device said to measure temperature changes instantaneously is announced in the United States. Called an electronic temperature regulator, the instrument was developed for high-speed, high-altitude aircraft which rapidly encounter extreme temperature variations. It reportedly can be used for cabin temperature control, oil, fuel, and engine temperature regulation,' or anti-icing systems. In a plane climbing from sea level to 40,000 feet at 10,000 feet a minute, or diving at supersonic speeds, temperatures have been found to vary as much as 166 degrees Fahrenheit in less than 5 minutes. The electronic unit regulates temperature in the plane by reacting instantly to outside temperature variations. It is being produced by a manufacturing company of Los Angeles, California, fcr several types of American aircraft.
