i THE liECI IT CO
AERO EXPERTS HELD SKEPTICAL
OF ITALIAN AIR SPEED METHODS
Timing Systems Used Abroad
Are Criticized by For
mer Army Aviator.
“Loose Practice" May Deter
World Competition.
Joyce Asserts.
By the Awociated Prene.
Temple Joyce, a representative of the
Chance Vought Corporation, declared
in a statement to the Associated Press
today that much doubt exists among
American aviation forces in France
reported speed of recently made air
records in Italy.
Mr. Joyce, who was a major in the
American Aviation Forces in France
during the World War. made the state
ment after conferences here with a
number of American racing pilots and
aeronaut leal engineers.
■•The rapidity with which these rec
ords have been successively broken,
amounting to three new records in
almost as many months, though possi
ble. sc,'ms very improbable when an ap
preciation of the engineering problems
involved is taken into consideration,"
he said.
Timing Methods Scored.
Aviation enthusiasts in this country,
he added, based their doubt on what
they term the antiquated method used
in Italy to time the speed of the racing
planes, which results in an unusual
discrepancy between the maximum and
average speeds over the three-kilo
meter course.
"We cannot believe that Maj. De Ber
nadi was such a poor pilot as to cause
this discrepancy," he said.
Two months ago one world record
was reported as being 297 miles an
hour, and recently another of 317 miles
was reported, show ing. Joyce pointed out.
that 20 miles an hour was added to an
already existing ship and engine in this
short time. The speed increase was
reported accomplished mainly by minor
engine and plane modifications and
certainly not involving new designs, "so
far as we know," he continued, adding
that increasing the speed of an already
existing plane four or five miles an hour
is quite an engineering accomplishment.
"When this question of speed per
formance is proposed, we naturally rum
to a close scrutiny of the methods which
govern the timing arrangements," he
said. The "loop system" used by the
Italians, he added, merely requires the
use of stop watches guaged to measure
lime only to one-tenth of a second, and

that in a speed lest both from a physi
cal and psychological standpoint, an
error in the records of about 11 miles
an hour is possible.
The Italian method, which is author
ized by the Federation Aeronautlque
Internationale, "violates a fundamental
principle.” Mr. Joyce claimed, as "the
time must never be averaged over a
speed course, but velocities must be
averaged to get anything like accurate
results.
"The Italians are averaging time and
can get practically any result they
want." he continued. "This loose prac
tice may stultify competition. The cost
of experiments necessary to get slight
increases in speed is so great that in
fairness to all concerned, one should
know without doubt that any records
claimed were accurately timed,”
The stop-watch system was discard
ed in America seven years ago for an
electrical device which measures the
speed to one-hundr-dth of a second.
The speeds are figured for each run and
the average is taken, whereas under
the loop system, the total time up and
down the course is all that is avail
able, which is averaged and then
changed into miles per hour.

Bishop McNamara paid high tribute
to the wwk of the local Catholic
Daughters, pointing out that they had
demonstrated it. was possible to be
"ptous without being peculiar."
Rev. Francis P. Lyons called upon
the organization to endeavor to educate
the public, through literature and other
mediums, regarding the Catholic Church,
with a view to eliminating prejudice.
Representative Mead of New York
