PORTABLES Two Brand New Never Unpacked PORTABLE TYPEWRITERS Remington Portable $74.00 Royal Portable $84.50 CALL K. BORISH 4409 PAGE SEVEN Invention Aids Meteorologists An inexpensive method of ob taining temperature, humidity, and pressure readings at altitudes up to more than 5000 feet has been devised by Dr. Hans Neu berger, professor of meteorology. The set-up utilizes a captive balloon to which is attached a modified chronometric radiosonde and an electric buzzer. The bal loon is moored with a line of linen or nylon thread, or any other suit able string. The buzzer is cut into the mooring line near the captive balloon and is wired to the mete orosonde. It sets up strong vibra tions that are conducted through the mooring line to. the ground. At the base of the mooring line, the signals can be received with the aid of a phonograph repro ducer fastened to the string and connected to stethoscope ear pieces by rubber tubing, or a crystal pickup can be used for automatic recording. The system has several advantages over other methods, Dr. Neuberger explain ed. In instruments employing the direct recording method, records are not immediately available and a possible failure of the instru ment to record therefore cannot be detected until the balloon has landed. The standard radiosonde, because of heavy battery require ments for the radio pj,gnal circuit, is ordinarily too heavy for ascents with a captive balloon. Likewise, the transmission, of electrical sig nals through a mooring line ne cessitates the use of metal wire which adds to the dead weight of the balloon. Wed., Thurs.
