r Saturday, October 6,'1923 _ ' U , I What £he World is (Doing CAS SEEK BY c MECHANICS cSAAGAZIKE .Turntable Airplane Landing Has 500-Foot Runway Keeping pace with the rapid progress made recently in the development of air ways, a landing stage has been designed that automatically heads into the wind and’ possesses other'unique and practical features. This airplane landing can be set to relhirin stable in all light breezes, and then switch itself into automatic cop-' trol at any .predetermined wind speed. This feature is highly important, for the aviator must head into the wind to make a safe landing. * Another advantage lies in the fact that the plane is able to ‘‘hop off” into the Wind from a standing start, at any required . speed, according to wind conditions. The plane, is restrained in stays in the starting room, its engines speeded up to the desired point, and then automatically released. The receiving controls for the landing of planes actuate a moving platform, so that ' an airplane will land, not with a shoelc, but • with a gliding motion. Landing platforms are j»bout 500 feet in over-all length, and from GO to SO feet wide. * * * Smell to Lure 801 l Weevil To Its Death I ' Government chemists are now at work on a new' method of attack on the cotti n holl weevil.
