Steel There For 384,000 Rifles Britain is throwing a whole rail- way into the mobilisation of iron and steel for the war. Although it is an old railway, its rails alone will add • to the resources of Britain enough steel for no fewer than 384,000 .rifles. Until 1937 the trains of Welsh Highland Railway chug- ged over sone of the loveliest scen- ery in the. Principality. Birt in that year it ceased to function and the grass began to grow along its 28 miles of permanent way. Now the rails, which are modern, are being taken up, 1,200 tons of them. They will be relaid elsewhere on sidings needed for the war effort, so setting free steel -making capacity for arm- ament manufacture. The two old locomotives are for the dismantler's yard and metal from the rolling stock is for the same destination. The railway is but an item in a nation-wide hunt for metal to turn into rifles, Tommy guns and tanks, into armour plate for battleships and armoured coastal defences. A Doomsday Book of park, street and house railings, of ancient steam rollers, engines and boiler -house plant is being prepared and already on walls bills have been posted pro- claiming the Government requisi- tioning of them. Among the first to respond has been the King himself with many tons of the railings of Buckingham Palace for the collec- tion.

RADIO IN THE WAR (From A Research Worker) Since the start of the war Britain has made remarkable progress in ap- plying radio to war purposes. Radio -location is, of course, the outstanding. innovation. It can be briefly described as a system for de- tecting and plotting the position and course of aircraft by multiple radio beams which, when they encounter any object, inform the operator of its presence. The hydrophone, as used by ships, provides a rough analogy. It plots the contours of the ocean bed or detects the existence of sub- marines in the vicinity. In radio -location the intersection of the beam by aircraft is recorded in each transmitting station and the po- sition of the intersecting machine is worked out trigonometrically. Ultim- ately, success depends on covering the entire country with locator sta- tions, thus forming an interconnected network of waves through which no enemy aircraft can pass without be- traying its approach. But radio helps our own aircraft too. Every pilot knows the difficulty and danger of a fog landing. Until the development of ultra-shortwave transmission fog invariably immob- ilized aircraft on the ground. To- day, blind landing is not merely pos- sible but safe. Experiments in the radio control of aircraft are also being made in Miss Vera Hudson °Joins Air Unit Miss Vera Hudson has been ac- cepted in the women's branch of the Royal Canadian Air Force and will report at the end of March. Miss Hudson has been an employee of the Richmond Hosiery. She Is also a talented reader, and has been a pop- ular performer on many programs here.—Mitchell Advocate. Britain and America. Eventually, we are promised, both pilot and navi- gator will be superfluous. The bomb- er will take off, fly at an enormous height to its objective, do its work and return without direct human control. The United States Army Air Corps began experiments of this type more than six years ago. Modern mechanized warfare has brought another use for radio: the control of advancing tank forma- tions from a central base or from one particular machine. The prob- lems of radio transmission and re- ception within a noisy, heavy steel shell, packed with machinery were formidable but they have been solv- ed with complete satisfaction ' and the units of a mechanized army can now maintain radio contact. New midget valves have made the really portable trans -receiver a fact; and the army is making full use of this recent development. It replaces the field telephone,both in the field and for coastal defence communications. With each technical advance the uses of radio in war are clearly in- creasing and in this branch of ap- plied science the British radio in- dustry can+ justly claim to be well in the forefront.
