SAFETY IN THE AIR.
RADIO FOR AEROPLANES. AMERICAN INVESTIGATIONS. A. and N.Z. WASHINGTON. Sept. 14. The American Navy Department is trying to perfect a suitable generator, capable of providing enough power to operate a radio sending apparatus on aeroplanes, thus averting disasters resulting from accidents similar to that which befel the PN9 No. 1. Many of the suggestions received were discarded as impracticable, but one now believed to be the most feasible is a hand-power generator operated on the same principle as a primitive telephone, but built on a larger scale. Many details in regard to compactness and weight must be worked out, however, before the service can be used.
