A MISS IMPOSSIBLE.
ANTI-AIRCRAFT DEA T ICE. An anti-aircraft device, with which, it is claimed, it will be impossible to miss the target, has been invented by Mr Maurice Nathan, of Glasgow. Its one drawback at present is that it can be operated only at night, as it involves the co-operation of searchlights. The invention consists of a collar to which the searchlights are attached, to enable the beams to converge on the target, the gun firing through the collar.
The speed of the moving target can be calculated and allowed for, and. if the target is within range it must be hit. The invention has been offered to the British Government.
