AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL

PROJECTOR

Permission to reproduce an air traf­fic control projector developed at the Bureau of Standards by the Aeronau­tics Resea rch Division of the Depart­ment of Commerce, has been obtained hy Lights, Inc., of Los Angeles, Cali­fornia, which firm is now marketing these products.

This projector has alreadv been proven highly efficient and satisfactory through extended use at United Air­port, Burbank, California. It weighs approximately 7 0 pounds, measures 15 inches in length by 80 inches in diameter, and is equipped with pistol grips for convenience in operating and steadiness in aiming.

The projector uses a 6-8-volt, 32-candlepower automobile headlight lamp of the single contact type.

A rotating holder carrying a clear green and a clear red lense is positioned between the lamp and the large reflec­tor and is pivoted at its center. The projector is operated bv means of two operating triggers loc~ted in the pis­tol grip. The rear trigger when de­pressed energizes the lamp fillamen t and the front trigger flashes the de­sired signal. Sights are provided on top of the barrels which are so designed that the field of view as seen through them corresponds with the limits of the beam. This results in the beam being directed at a particular aircraft and permits the operator to know that no other aircraft is in range of the beam.

When in proper focus, a tight cir­cular concentrated beam is projected of sufficient candle-power to reach any pilot whose plane can be seen by the operator sending the signals. Power consumption is negligible. Although each field has its own conditions to satisfy regarding signal codes the fol­lowing code has been used very suc­cessfullv at United Airport: green light f;r takeoff; red light, to remain stationary; red and green flashes in succession to denote danger and to advise pilo.t to clear area immediately with caution. Bv partial depression of the signal trigger a neutral position can be obtained in which the projector indicates white light. Some operators use the white beam for spotting an ob­ject at conside ra ble distance at night and for obtaining approximate ceiling in ad verse weather.

Vic Kropff, big shot of the Vic Flying

service, has recently received a new Fair­child with speed landing gear, pants, and powered with a Menasco motor. Vic will probably be burning the atmosphere up plenty from now on.
