process of fuelling in the air.
This method is to be used this year in the new British air mail service westward across the At- lantic.
For fuelling, a tanker aeroplane takes up a position about 100 feet above and slightly to the right of the air liner, from the stern of which is trailed a grapnel on a line. From the tanker an ejector system flings a projectile attached to the cable into the arc of the trailing line. By an ingenious contrivance, automatic.connection ensues.
At yesterday's demonstration only 200 gallons of petrol was trans- ferred. Ordinarily the amount would be some 850 gallons weigh- ing 6,000 pounds, and its transfer would take less than 10 minutes.
In the view of experts, refuelling in the air is considered to be a practicable operation in any condi- tions in which a flyingboat can ascend. The commercial value claim- ed for the system is that it will enable aircraft to carry a very much greater useful load than would otherwise be possible. British Wireless.
REVISION OF TARIFF EXPECTED
Peiping, To-day.
Japanese sources report that the third revision of the North China Customs tariff since their occupation is to be an- nounced shortly, as the two re- visions during the last 18 months have "failed to satisfy the requirements of the New Order in the East."
Japanese imports into North China in 1938 totalled $313,- 000,000, which is double the figure for the previous year, while exports to Japan totalled $164,000,000, or about the same as in 1987.
This trend is likely to be. accentuated by the new tariff.
