Announcement of the perfection of the Hunson audio piloting cable system marks the final victory in man's age-long struggle to control the air lines and to make them safe under the most hazardous flying conditions-impenetrable fog.

The device, an "invisible pilot" more accurate and more nearly safe thin the eye of the pilot himself, was announced to the publle for the first time after two years of closely guarded secret Hying teats by the inventor, Earl C Hanson, of Chi- It was demonstrated at the cago.

Mr. Hanson, a young man in his; thirties, is the inventor of the audio cable used in New York and other. harbours for guiding fog-bound ships aafely through tortuous chan- nels. The new device is an adapta- tion of that idea to aeronautics,

Mr. Hanson held the secret of the revolutionary device since 1911 but was unable to perfect it until he was granted the use of Ford tri-motor aeroplanes and other equipment at the Ford Airport, at Lansing, I The aviation division the Ford Motor Company particularly interested in the mathad since it dovetailed with the perfect- closely Ing of the Ford radio beacon on which company, radio engineers were working and which also had just been brought to a successful con- clusion. The beacon, which throws a directional, beam from part to

field. From that point the Hanson system directs the pilot and his craft to a safe landing even in fog so dense that the field and its ob- atructions are totally obscured.
