NEW COMPASS
FITTED TO ALLIED BOMBERS. REMARKABLY EFFICIENT INSTRUMENT. ißy Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, October 13. Mr Charles Marcus, vice-president of the Bendix Aviation Corporation, discloses that a revolutionary new gyroflux gate compass has been guiding United Nations bombers to their objectives and home again for months. Mr Marcus said the appliance uses the earth’s magnetic field for developing electrical impulses, which turn the compass indicator. It is not disturbed hi a dive or climb. It can now be revealed because the enemy have captured some, but it is impossible for them to duplicate it, much less to produce it in volume.
