Radio waves high flyers, Washington, D.C., Oct. 1. Experiments conducted by H.W. Wellex at the radio station of the Carnegie Institution have proven that radio waves travel a distance of 80 miles heavenword before they are reflected back to earth. Traveling like lightning as they ascend in to the ionosphere the radio impulses have to be measured in 10,000ths of second to accurately check the height reached before they return to the radio set

Photoelectric ray to determine flying ceiling. Washington, D.C., June 15. To permit a ground observer to determine at what height flying is safe during days of fog and heavy overcast, Miss Elizabeth M. Zandonini, of the Radio Section staff of the Bureau of Standards, is shown with the balloon transmitting equipment. A photoelectric cell measuring light brightness is used to control the pitch of the radio signal transmitted from the balloon as it ascends. A graphical frequency recorder plots the pitch and hence [...] a measure of the light brightness as a function [...] height. The experiments are carried on for the U.S. [...]
