CIVIL AVIATION
· FLYING IN FOGS RENDERED EASIER
NEW AUTOMATIC CONTROL
تو
1
One of the great difficulties with which civil aviation is faced is that of maintaining a regular service undor bad weather, conditions. The problems arising under this cate gory relate to control, navigation and landing, but It is with the Arst of those that we are now concerned. When the pilot is deprived of his horizon, the control of an aeroplane becomes exceedingly difficult, in splto of the information which can ho supplied by such instruments as turn indicators. It is true that an aeroplane can be flown by a skilled pilot observing a turn indicator, a compass and an airspeed indicator. but the amount of concentration re- quired is very fatiguing, and if the pilot relaxos his attention long enough for considerable dis- turbance to arise, recovery is very difficult until a sense of the hori zontal plane is regained by obser- vation of the ground or the horizon, Generally, if the rudder can be operated as to keep the zeroplane' flying in a constant direction, most of the difficulty disappears. It should be noted, however, that ob- servation of a magnetic compass is practically useless from this point of view, owing to the disturbances which arise from centrifugal force when the aeroplane departs from a straight course. For this reason, the automatic rudder control devel- oped at the Royal Aircraft Es- tablishment relies for. its sense of direction on a free gyroscope, or "gyro azimuth."

GIVES HIS BLESSING
Writing of the visit of Princess Mary and Viscount Lascelles to Portumna, Ireland, the "Dally News" states:

At the gates old Michael Curley, the blind piper, walted trembling with excitement,' and' he was the first townsman to be presented to the Royal lady. He bowed low and burst into a torrent of Gaolle.
"A hundred thousand welcomes to this town, beautiful lady," he said, and then pronounced the old Irish blessing:"Whatever you do this day may the blessing of God) go with you."
"Have you brought your pipes with you, Curley 7" Princess Mary asked, to which old Curloy made the lyrical reply:-"My eyes are dark, lady, and I cannot see your face, but your voice is full of musle. God bless it."
Then he explained that his arma were paralyzed with age and the 'pipes had long been silent. He re- alled the visit of King Edward and Queen Alexandra and how he had played to them.
Was that In Dublin?"! the Princess asked.
"Arrah, not at all," said Curley. "It was in this country- Ballinahinch King Edward was a grand man so he was, but the: Queen was better. Twas herself: that talked to me the most. God' rest her soul"
