teUs him that, he is only 50 feet-above!
the hazard, whether it is a mountain, j
trad, huilding or .oher obstacle..
While- flyipg over mountainous'
country., .the.pilot, is informed of his
exact, altitude above the. ground at all

as he heads ino ai field, to-which he
has been directed by radio beacon,
and watrhes his descent with the
green, yellow and red warning lights.
Dr.JS.JY.W. Alexanderson, consult
ing engineer, of the General Electric
Company, who perfected the device,
has> harnessed the. signal lights on the
plane’s instrumen board to the radio
echo altimeter, which, he first an
nounaed hast year.
The time interval* foC ,a radio im-.
pulse to travel fro ma speeding plane
to the ground ami back to- the plane
is measured by . Dr. Alexanderson’s
device and computed on t. a meter,
wnich shows he planeia. exact, height
above the ground. .
When the meter hand swings to in
dicate- altitudes below d2SQ.'feet, ,the
lights on the instrument board fladh
to atract the pilot’ sattention, .
Dr. Alexanderson,. at. firsts tried to
work out a systeiinby, which the pilot
could he warned ■ of his proximity to
the ground by . the intenaiy of the
radio echo, but found, that,conflicting
noises and* the pilot’s range.-of. judg
ment made it unsatisfactory. ■
