Designed and'made by a British firm, the "robot" indicator will be the first of its type in an aero- drome in the world The -position of its Train vane alters only when a definite change of . wind direction takes place, and is maintained for a given period of seconds, It is capable of remote control and remote indication. The officer in ,the control tower' can "see which way the Wind is blowing" by merely glancing at a repeater on his desk, and can also, if necessary,. switch over the controls from "automatic" to "man: nal." In the manual position the indicat- or can be rotated into any position and kept there On switching back to automatic control the indicator will immediately take up correct position according to the average wind direction Other equipment for guidance of aircraft includes a mile - long line of contact lights, let into the ground, to'assist aircraft to land in foggy weather. The new airport will not be com- pleted before next spring, but it is expected that limited use will be Made of it this winter. There are 300 acres of landing area, but 700 acres have been acquired for future extension.
