RADIO FOR AVIATION.
IS GREAT ACHIEVEMENT
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. </p)—'Two
outstanding achievements of the Army
Signal Corps during the fiscal year
, 1927 were the demonstration of the
j usefulness of the Signal Corps Radio
i Beam Beacon and the development
[ of a new radio set for aircraft, the
[ Chief Signal Officer of the Army, Ma
] jor General Charles McK. Saltzman
| declared in his annual report.
! “The Radio Beacon,” General Saltz
i man stated, “has given to the world a
| remarkable means of guiding airplanes
i on transoceanic night flights,” while
t the aircraft radio set, has been re.
leased to commercial aviation. This
set, he stated, is -built to provide the
use of both radio telegraphy and tele*
phony.
The Signal Corps Radio Net, with
stations in many Army centers, during
the fiscal year handled 306,718 official
dispatches for many departments of
the Government, which formerly were
transmitted by commercial companies
resulting in a saving to the Govern,
ment of $178,624.68,a.fter the deduc
tion of the operating expenses, accord,
ing to the report.
Tom Cox, Fairbanks resident, has
left for the States where he will spend
the winter.
