Electronically Controlled In
strument Gives Perfect
Platform For Bomb Drop.
- MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1943
idgSBC )m
X' Mr
New York, Sept 21. (U.
An automatic pilot so perfectly
developed it virtually converts
plane into a stable, aerial
platform from which high alti
tude bombing can be conducted
with a precision never before
achieved was revealed today.
Details of the electronically
controlled instrument, which
has been in use by the U. S.
army air force since October,
1941, were disclosed by the air
force and the Minneapolis
Honeywell Regulator company.
Take Pilots Duty
The device takes over com
pletely the duties of the pilot
on bombing runs and holds the
plane on a designated course
without wavering, despite cross
currents, wind variations and
air blasts from exploding anti
aircraft shells. So perfectly
does the mechanism work that
the plane usually is unaware of
any movements from the prede
termined course.
Closely guarded, it was one of
America's most secret of weap
ons until the loss of planes bear
ing it gave the details away to
the enemy.
Alfred M. Wilson, vice presi
dent in charge of Honeywell's
aeronautical division, said that
the auto-pilot's electronic opera
tion surpasses the sensitivity of
all mechanical and electrical de
vices previously used.
Cut Bombing Run
Because of the rapidity of its
responses, Allied bombers have
been able to cut down the time
reaulred for the bombing run
itself, Wilson explained. It has
resulted in more highly coordin
ate bombardienpilot teams, and
bombing missions are made
easier and more effective be
cause pilot fatigue is reduced,
Wilson said.
"At high altitudes slight varia
tions from a perfectly stable
platform are greatly magnified,"
he said, "just as in the case of
target rifle shooting where if a
gunsight is off only a fraction
of, an inch the bullet will miss
the bull's eye by feet at several
hundred vaTds. To overcome
this a rifleman will steady his
gun, where possible, with a tri
pod or some stable and convenl-

Like Tripod
"Roughly that Is what we are
doing with our auto-pilot; pro
viding an artificial tripod to
hold aircraft on the bull's eye
when bombs are released."
Wilson said that the electronic
auto-pilot permitted installation
of control stations in various
parts of the plane so that it
could be flown from two or
three different points.
This, he said, was the secret
explaining the case of a Flying
Fortress which returned safely
after a Messerschmitt 109 shot
away two-thirds of the fuselage
area and severed the pilot
manual controls connecting to
the rudder and the elevators.
