F
PITTSUUKG, Aug. 13. Our toch
niciil schools aufl colleges luive been
mobilized by the war department to
turn out brains tor the army.
If some of the kaiser's field mar
shals could take a flying trip to
America and see how American edu
cational Institutions are turning out
technical men for the army and pre
paring to keep up the supply for a
dozen years if necessary, a great
light migbt begin to dawn even in
the Hun mind.
I havo just Inspected this work at
Jlhe Carnegie Institute of Toc-hnlligy.
Aeronautical School of Uadio-.Me-chanlcs
Hie only one of its kind in
the United States.
Six hundred boys in khukl are
learning how to place and repair
radio installations of our airplanes.
OIK) in Training
I)y August 10 the number in traiu
lng ill this course reached 900. Every
select service man whose record
shows that he lias had electrical
training will bo sent here. Ueneral
Pershing has called for more radio
mechuuics. Thru a big new steel and concrete
building (built in 90 days), 1 went
with Director of War Courses Itced.
The floor space is covered with Cur
tlss model training planes on which
the men work. The aerial radio gets
its power from a small auxiliary mo
tor, fastened to the chassis of the
plane, above the right wheel on the
landing gear. It looks like a big
acorn with an electric fan fastened
on the front. When the aeroplane Is
flying, the force of the wind runs tiie
radio motor. From this motor, wires
are carried to the sending set located
in the fuselage and operated by the
observer. The men learn to make
these installations and to set . up
ground receiving stations and keep
thorn in repair.
In Touch Willi Army
The school keeps in the closest
touch with the army in France.
Cabled instructions from General
Pershing result in changes in' the
course of instruction to keep It up to
the minute.
"The men are glvci some of the
theory of electrical work, magnetism,
machine shop practice, code practice
some sketching and working out of
circuits, and also radio sending.' ex
plained Director Meed.
"These men are without exception
the best class of students we have
ever had," said Director Reed.
"There will be no better trained men
in the army."
Tho rchool of radio-mechanics was
located at Carnegie, because Pitts
burg Is tho center of cicatrical pro
duction.
