Flying in Fog
IT was mentioned recently that a camera capable of talcing pictures in a lo°' has boon developed. Tt is now reported in “Popular Science” that firing in fog is made safer by a now radio direction-finder for ’planes by an improved visual indicator for receiving radio beacon signals on regular lanes.
When the direction-finder, a revolving loop mounted on the wing, has been trained on a broadcasting station, a dial, connected to the plane’s radio set, shows constantly whether the pilot is on course. The other instrument interprets the dots and dashes of the range beacons, its needle swinging when tlie pilot is off his course.
