Airport Runway and Surface Treatments

THE RECENT widespread interest in aviation has resulted in the construction of a great number of airports all over the Pacific Coast. In many instances plots of ground have been set aside and designated as airports and as yet little or nothing has been done to develop them to the point where any name other than that of an emergency landing field is justified.

SEVERAL HUNDRED dollars a month are saved by the Alexander Aircraft Co. by the adoption of a system whereby the mechanics must make out a report to cover all materials or tools lost or broken. The system serves several purposes. In the first place it has reduced the number of tools lost and broken and decreased the breakage of parts in the construction of airplanes, by increasing the vigilance of the employees.

ROBERT R. OSBORN In the vicinity of New York and New Jersey there lias developed, in the last year or so, quite a large group of newspaper men who have become specialists in aviation news gathering. As they didn’t all have aeronautical experience before taking over this assignment some of their stuff at the beginning was pretty bad and there were always a few breaks to help us through the sometimes yawning space of this column.
