TRAFFIC IN THE AIR.
LATEST SAFETY DEVICE. PILOT'S DUTi ES SIMPLIFIED, "A MERE MACHINE MINDER." By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. Reuter. LONDON. Jan. 3. The recent tendency of aeroplane safetv devices to turn the pilot into something in the nature of a mere machine minder is exemplified in the newest Imperial Airways express machine. The machine is specially designed for night flying, and is fitted with an improved gyroscopic mechanism, not only controlling the action of the rudder, but automatically keeping the piano stable and on its right course. The pilot simply regulates the speed of the engines and the altitude of the craft.
