TRAFFIC CONTROL FROM AIR
AUTOGIRO’S FIRST TRIAL FLIGHT. I HELP IN LONDON’S POLICE WORK. British Wireless. Rugby, Aug. 15. The first trial flight over London in the' new Scotland Yard autogiro took place to-day to test the value of observations which can be made from such a machine for traffic control and other police work. Assistant-Commissioner Tripp, who is in charge of the traffic section of Scotland Yard, was in the autogiro and after the flight expressed the opinion that there was great possibilities for traffic regulation from the air, the value of which had already been proved in connection with isolated problems such as the Derby Day congestion. The police experiments will continue for some weeks.
