THE

AUTOMATIC AIR

PILOTS

| NEW BRITISH DEVICE FOR NIGHT BOMBERS

APPLICATION OF OLD IDEA **

A squadron of heavy night bomb- ers of the Royal Air Force is being fitted with a new device, officially described as a pilot's assister. This, in effect, is an automatic pilot, which will control one of the large twin-engined night bombers for hours on end, maintaining any course previously set by the pilot. Thus in war-time a pilot would arrive less fatigued at his objec- tive, while from the point of view of commercial air transport the device should immensely simplify cloud flying.

There is nothing new in the idea, and every country has for years been working on such an apparatus. What is new is that the Royal Air- craft Establishment have now pro duced a practical device which is not sluggish on the one hand or over-sensitive on the other, yet is

capable of correcting variations of a fraction of a degree from the set course. The chief feature, as in most similar devices, is a gyroscope, which is driven by compressed air supplied from A wind-driven air compressor, and the same source of

негол

power is used to drive pneumati cally worked pistons linked to the lateral controls, the rudder, and the elevators. Efficiency has now been developed to a point when the automatic pilot controls an plane far more precisely than can the most skilled human pliot, and it works equally well on a general purposes two-seater, a flying-boat, or a heavy twin-engined aeroplane. The device has been tested on many cross-country flights, and pilots, having set a course, have flown for over 400 miles without touching the controls, and have arrived their destination. Naturally the automatic device can take no notice of changing wind, and the pilot, having set a course, must neces- sarily reset the device If during the flight there, is аку appreciablo change in a side wind, though bumpy

and boisterous air condi- tlong merely result in the mechanism having more work to do.

HONG KONG TIDE

The tide-table given below has been obtained by aid of the Tide-pre- dicting Machine, which includes" 40 components for the better prediction of tides, from the result of the analysis of the tidal observations, taken at the Kowloon tidal observa tory under the direction of Dr. Daberek during the years 1887, 1888 and 1889.

The times and heights are givin fox Kowloon; but they may be used for the Victoria Naval Yard and

Aberdeen, the differences being verz

small.

The times of high and low-water must not be considered to coincide with the times of slack-water and change of current, the two phenomena being quite distinct.
