PXGE TWELVE
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. fEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1938.
DEVICE PERFECTED
HEIGHT OVER LAND
An absolute altimeter which not
only will furnish in airplane pilot
with readings of hla exact height
above actual ground but which also
will warn him of anjr obstaclea ahead,
today waa reported to have been per
fected after yeara of raaearch.
According to wire advlcea received
from Chicago headquartera by Max
O. Henne. field manager of United
Air Llnee here, the altimeter waa
successfully demonstrated by United
Air Unea and Woatem Electric en
gineer, along with a group of tech
nical obeervera, on a apeclal flight
at New York. Following additional
aerrlee tests by United, which Is
planning to Install the device on all
It planea In the near future, the al
timeter will be made available to
the Industry generally, It waa an
nounced. Reporta stated that the device, an
the first suocesBtul altimeter to show
clearance above the ground, operates
on the shortest radio wave ever used
for commercial purposes and, due to
the ultra-high frequency, Is entirely
free from static Interference. Al
though the present unit weighs 40
pounds, production models will weigh,
only about 35 pounds, offlclala said.
Radio Signal Used
p. o. Sandretto, communications
engineer of United Air Lines. Is cred
ited with first having applied the
principle employed In the set, de
signed by the Bell Telephone Labora
tories and built by Western Electric.
It la said to Involve the transmission
of a radio signal to the earth, recep
tion of the signal's reflection back
from the ground, measurement of
the elapsed time between transmis
sion and reception, and translation
of this measurement Into a direct al
tltude reading In feet, from a few feet
to a mile.
The description stated that the al
tfmater can be directed forward o
at any angle desired to warn pilots
should thev be nearlng terrain or ob.
structlons and that a warning light
flashes on should the alrplBne be
below a fixed minimum altitude
above terrain. In effect, the device
thus gives pilots a reallstlo "picture
of tha ground below and ahead, even
when there la no vlslDllliy, Mr. nen
na explained. Stating that It had
Droved effective under all conditions,
official declared the Instrument to
be so sensitive that It will register
abangea In ground terrain clearance
when being flown over a two-atory
bunding.
To Be Installed
Following Initial test In both a
laboratory and a trlmotored research
plane of Weetem Electric, the alti
meter waa perfected and Installed
lor service testing In a fllht research
Boeing twin-motored plane of United
Air Lines.
"Our engineers and pilots regard
the development of this device as ma
of the most Important technical ad
vancements In air transportation his
tory," said W, A. Patterson, president
of United, In a telegram to Mr. Hen
na. "The Bell and Western Electric
laboratories, with whloh our com
pany has worked on thla project for
the past two and a half years, are
to be highly commended by the avi
ation Industry for the Important con
tribution they have made to the
safety of scheduled flying. Following
eompletlon of service tests In Uni
ted' flying laboratory, our company
Intend to make standard Installation
of these devices on awry airliner In
It fleet."

NEW DAIRY FEED
COR V ALUS, Oct. 18. (API Cys
tine chemical mixed with alfalfa may
lead to revolution In dairy feed se
lections and resulting increases In
milk production. Dr. J. R. Haag, Ore
gon State college nutrition chemist,
said yesterday hts experiments Indi
cated. Mother rats were fed minute quan
tities of cystine with alfalfa meal by
Dr. Has.fi and hla swifts nt, U D.
Wright. Milk flow of the mother
rait Increased to such an extent their
voung ftrrw half again as rapidly ss
those whose mot hers received only
alfalfa meal.
Dr. Haag explained cystine was an
amino acid containing sulphur and
found In certain proteins. Its most
convenient source is hair, the college
laboratories producing their supply
Irom bushels of barber shop clippings.
Th present production cost of cys
tine would prevent Inclusion In dairy
feeds. Dr. Haag said, but he will study
Its effect upon cows. If the results
are the same aa with rats, Dr, Hung
predicted It would markedly affect
selection of concentrates for feeding
with alfalfa hay, large'y used by Ore
Ron dairymen.
