ATLANTIC FLIGHT
Problem of Daylight Radio Reception (Beceived 7, 8.45 a.m.) LONDON, Aug. 6. Captain Harold Gray, commander of the 1,'aax-AmAncan A. ways' Ciipper III., says that the real object of a daylight trans-Atlantic crossing is to study the working of the radio system dux'ing daylight. '•«It will be necessary to work on different wave-lengths, " he said. " We hope to investigate a number oi' things and the trip should yield valuable data. There is a patch ixx mid-Atlantic we have not yet seen because it hitherto has been covered in darkness." The clipper left Foyixes, Ireland, for America at 4.19 a.m. Messages from the Pan-American clipper indicate that she was encountering slight rain and a steady head wind over the Atlantic (reports a British Official Wireless message).
