Y
instructions. If I dadn t learn every-
thing about bombing and the use of
machine guns, it was because one
can't do that in an afternoon.'
First,- we went over the details of
the course of study together. It was
like the curriculum of a university
course in engineering, with its vari-
ons formulae and its apiplied mathe-
rants. I wondered that students
could pick it up unless they had been
lraaticularly good in mathematics in
their high school days, but the Fly -wire
tug Officer said that few failed. Those
who did not understand the theories
could memorize the formulae.a

That doesn't mean much' to most
of us, but it sounds like a heavy
course of study to be mastered in six
"weeks.

Camera' Guns Save Ammunition
Ftrst gra°tick with actual machine
guns is on tthe 25 -yawl Vickers
guns are used there, though they are
now out -dated and Brownings are
used for more advanced work. The
machine gunners stand inside a long
uuillding, open at the front, and' shoot
at targets with bursts of fire, eight
to 15 bullets ata time,
Inside another building, in separate
rooms, are power -operated• machine
gun turrets which gave the British
gunners an advantage early in the
war. They were completely equipped
but the actual guns had beep re -plicated

shot a ray of light at a tiny
German plane which moved against
painted sky, A student was banging
at it,' and every time he' scored
a hit, ,a bell rang. Amusement parks
have similar devices, without the tur-
ret, which is the impor.,tant part. The
young man at the camera'gun was
doing fairly well, scoring. hits with
about half his shots. Dials on a near-
by desk indicated exactly what he was
doing,
Ile finished and I climbed up inside
the turret. A table lowered over my
knees and a lever at my side brought
up a seat and wedged , me . in like a
1 saardine in a can. Apparently I was a.
bit oversize to make a good gunner.
Five or silaswitches set the machin-
cry in' motion and I looked through a
small 'reflecting sight, already, de-
scribed in an earlier story, With my*
left eland, I worked a "stick;!..,, similar
to those that control small planes. A-
+ouch of m thumb on a button on
y
top of the lever started the machine
gun But the mechanism was too fast
for sae. I got in. a few shots, but I
scored not a hit.

the roof and explode inside a build-
o
f;:g or a ship. There, are bombs that
pierce armor before exploding. The to
bombs can be adjusted for various in
purposes, having different types of
detonators in nose and tail. Bombs
are carried on racks; underneath the
wings, inside the fuselage or in other
places, depending on the type of th .
bombing plane. :They are released
electrically by punting a little lever.
Much. has been heard about bomb
sights, in recent months. The bomb- 'dian
sight is an elaborate instrument used
to ensure that the bomb will land on
ar near the target. In the .early days
of the' last Great War, bombs were
simply dropped over the edge. by the
pilot. Even' :at that, many of ,these
first bombs probably landed a mile
from the place they were intended to
strike.
A modern bombsight is a most coni-
'instrument. There are some
ten adjustments. Not only the height
of the plane above the ground, the
speed at which it is- travelling, the
direction and velocity of the wind
affect the fall of the bomb, but even
the temperature.. '
The bombsight is covered with
knobs 'and dials and scales. When
all these have been adjusted, the Ob -cost
server watches the landscape through
an eyepiece. He sees it apparently
moving down 'between. two pairs of
wires with colored beads at inter-
vale along them. At last, the railway
station, factoryor whatever the tar-
get mar be, appears 'between: two tiny
pointers. The observer pulls a lever
and the `bomb starts on its way. It
may be 20 seconds before it hits. and
another ten before it explodes. o
The Bombing "Teacher"
Students learn to operate the
bombsight with the aid of a "teach-
er,"which is one of the most inter-
eating and ingenious machiires I. ever
saw. It is 'contained in a specially-
built three-storey building and kept
y
locked.1941,
T watched Flying Officer Johnson
adjust the 'bombsight, after drawing
lines across the face of its compass
and making calculations, Then I lay
°n my stomach and looked through
the sights. We were in the gallery
of the building, Upstairs• intricate

ventor, adjusted for altitude; ,wind
speed and so on, ground away. Down
below me, the landscape of the en-
emy country moved past. I could see1940.
farms, the towns and cities, the
line of the coast. I chose a factory
in the distance, watched it come down
between the wires and as it reached
the' pointer, pulled the trigger. For
some twentyseconds, the time it took
that bomb to drop, the scenery mov-
P'
ed past. Then it stopped and a white
light showed: where the bomb had'
landed.
Actual 'bombing is, done over
Erie. Sma.l.l practice bombs, attached
under the wings of the Fairey Battle
are aimed ata red raft from .heights
well over a mile. A puff of smoke
goes up as the bomb hits the water.pff
Observers on shore watch the
of smoke; use some simple tnigo-BRITAIN
nom`etry, and plot the places where
the bombs drop. The student marks
where he thought they went. The
best target hangs in the conference
room, Over it is a sign: "Beat this
and yours will hang `here instead'.”
Also no doubt, the owner of the
target will head his class at the next
wings parade.

DEVELOPMENT OF CABLE
i STORM
Storm -proof telephone lines with
all wires enclosed in Gable• are
now being built across the con-
$inert! The first all -cable trans-
continental route, is „just being
completed b the la
P y laying of cables
underground from Omaha to
Sacramento, 'California. r The
cables are .buried .by means of
ploughs drawn by powerful trac-
tors, so that the ditch is dug, the
cable laid, and the earth filled in
at the same time. Cables provide
many more voice paths than open
' wire lines,and also ensure protec-
tion from sleet -storms, worst
enem of telephone communica-
y P
tions.
The development of cable pro
vides one of the outstanding ex-
am of the importance of re-
search in the telephone industry.
From the earl -rest years of the
telephone, the advantages of en-
closing wires in cable were apple-
many difficulties had
to be overcome before a practical.
cable could be produced. The
method of experiment, of care-
fully testing every possible way
in order to select only the best,
and of continued effort to find
something still -better, was
standard practice in the tele
phone' industry as early as 1880.re
Since wires are crowded very
ry
ciosel to , the
together in cables
first important requirement was
a good insulator to. prevent voice
currents from leaking over from
one wire to another. One early
cable used ordinary
shirt buttons strung closely to-
gether alongthe wires to, keep
them apart in the cable! Finally,
in 1885, from a queer inventor
who had designed a machine for `
wrapping paper around the wires
in ladies bonnets, came 'the idea
that paper crushed loosely around

the wires was the only insulation
required. Paper insulation is need'
in all present-day cables, but it is
laid directly on the wire by dip-
ping the latter in a bath of pulp.
The next problem was the de -
velopment of a suitable sheath.
For its flexibility, lead was the
material chosen, but lead alone
proved too soft to stand up under
the stresses and strains of wind
and temperature variations- Dur
in the early part of the century,
g turfs
a mixture of lead and tin was
employed. This alloy wore well,
but it was expensive, so further
research was undertaken.About
1912, it was 'discovered that the
addition of a little antimony to
lead gave the metal the required
wearing qualities. It is estimated
that the use of antimony instead
of tin in cable sheaths has meant
a saving of many millions of _dole
laxs—a saving which has helped
to keep do the cost of tele -
phone calls. tpe the present time,
exhaustive experiments are being
conducted in the use of a lead-
calcium alloy for the cable sheath,
The first standard ty. es of
cable contained no more an 50
pairs of wires, and cost about

wires were packed into a lead

cable contains 2121'
