Illinois Pl'ane to Record Storms in Crossing Ocean

B&SEA Service ROCKFORD, 111.. July 23.—When Bert Hassel’s plane, Greater Rockford. points its nose toward Stockholm, Sweden, this summer, an enemy of fog and squalls will be perched on the wings to warn of danger and to chart the ocean’s whims for others who may follow. The mechanical “lookout” is similar to the instrument in use at naval air stations where it is carried about the sky by fliers daily to read the upper atmosphere and forecast warnings of dangerous storms. Study Sea Storms Sailors have been traversing the lanes between Europe and America for hundreds of years, but little i known of the more important sea currents. South of Greenland, for example, where great storms are born, scientists believe now that the salty south current of the Atlantic sinks deeper in the ocean where it meets the frigid waters of the Arctic. Give Data to Greeland This, however, is a surmise and Hassel’s expedition may help to prove it true or false. The flier will cooperate with the Mount Evans observatory in Greenland and exchange recordings obtained on his oversea journey. The story the aerograph tells may aid future trans-Atlantic pilots.
