New Instrument for Use
by Aviators Is Invented
WASHINOTON. Keb. 26. A new
manometer or Instrument for record
ing air preMiiro on wlug und tall
surfaces of airplanes at different
points rilmullanoously has been de
signed and dexotoped by F H, Nor
ton, an engineer ot Iho Itngley Mem
orial Laboratory nt Langley Field.
Virginia, It was announced today by
Iho National Advisory Committee for
Aeror.uutlc.3.
Thn first experiments wero under
taken by the Laboratory for Iho Navy
Department In order to determine the
distribution of prosum over tho hor
izontal tall surfaces ot an airplane
mnl to nnalyzu tho relation ot this
pressure to structural load and
longitudinal stability and wero con
duced on full sized planes lu tho air
und on models In the wind tunnels.
Tho old method constated In using n
horizontn tall surface Inside ot which
rubber tubes connected with a series
ot holes on tho surface led to a mul
tiple liquid manometer. Tho several
tubes of tho manometer registered
tho prcssuro nt each change of speed
or air prcssuro and tho results were
recorded by an automatic camera
which photographed the height ot the
liquid lu tho tubes every; fewseconds.
To study various pressures In ac
celerated flights or "Stunting", It
was Impossible to uso tho old liquid
mauomoter and consequently the new
manometer was developed, substitu
ting tho deflection of metal diaph
ragms and u means of automatically
recording their deflection tor the li
quid muuometor and the camera re
spectively, Among tho results achieved by the
Investigations arc:
That the low average load per
squaro foot on tho usuat type of tall
piano doing Bte'ady flight Is so small
that it could not In any conceivable
way cause failure
That the records token ot tho same
pressures on tall surfaces In acceler
ated flights demonstrated that thero
xvas no large Incroaso in these forces.

Inquiry Into Whole Qucf
tion of Lighter Than Air
Craft May Develop
NOrtFOLK, Fob. 25. The army
board today began Investigating the
Homa disaster and an Inquiry Into
tho whole question of tho military
value of lighter than air craft Is ex
pected to follow.
Officers of thn air service said to
day that nuch an Inquiry would b
necessary, bncausn Iojs of tho noma
had ontlely upset training and opera
ting programs for air service. From
tho Inquiry, It If understood, wtll
come a decision as to whether thtrt
la sufficient military value, direct or
Indirect, la the employment by the
army of dirigible arcratt of great
size to warrant ecommendatloni io
size to warrant rocommendatlonsr to
Congress for acquisition ot new craft
ot lighter than air type.
Secretary Weeks said today ha bad
not discussed with bis military ad
vlsers the replacement ot the Rozaa.
bnt felt there was no Justification for
asking the purchase or construction
of a new vessel ot the same type.
The war secretary, after a coafer
ence with Major General Patrick,
chief ot the Army Air Service, who
bad just returned from Langley IUU
where he made a personal preliminary
of the disaster waa re ported as cob
vineed on the basis of preeeat Infor
mation that the accident waa dm to
breaking ot elevating rudder control
or of supports for elevating gear, aid
that there waa no structural defect
Involved of a nature that probaMy
could "haveben detected IrradvarJce.
Weeks said he would, have depart
ment records Investigated fully to
see what report had been nude by
operating officers on the condition of
tho ship.
Ho had no knowledge, ho said, of
any complaint concerning tho ability
of the crew to control flight of the
Ttoma except for motor difficulties,
which led to replacing the original
Italian cngli as with tho American
built Libert; motors.
Had any officers of tho noma hads
knowledge beforo tho accident of the
xveakncsies of tho vessol or the struc
tural or other defects which render
ed her In tho least unsafo for ope
ration, Weeks said. It was tho duty o
that officer to report tho fact to his
superiors for protection ot himself
and associates on tho ship.
.nLOOMINGTON. Ind.. Fob. 25.
A letter purporting to havo boon
written by M. L. Dealt shortly before
his death lu thu crash ot tho noma,
on which ho served as a sergeant en
gineer, xvas mado public today.
"The ship Is a death trap," the
letter said. "It's coming down one of
these days and only three or four of
us are coming out alive."
Z. R. Uland, to whom the lottcr
was addressed, said Boall had refer
red to thn noma In other lottera as a
"death ship."
dlcall, ho said, was ono of tho
Americans sent to Italy for the
