AIR-MAIL PLANES TO HAVE RADIO BEACON RECEIVING EQUIPMENT Radio has been called upon to solve the problems caused by aviation s greatest foe — bad weather. As a culmination of over a year of intensive tests, the airplanes of National Air Transport, Inc., operators of air-mail and express lines, are being equipped with radio receiving apparatus, and radio beacon stations are being constructed at the company's principal airports. The receivers on the planes will pick-up beacon signals and weather reports. The pictures on this page show (above) an N.A.T. radio-equipped plane with vertical antenna, (center) tfie receiving equipment which is installed to the rear of the pilot's cockpit and which is tuned remotely with the cable shown, and (below) an interior view of the transmitting station at the Cleveland airport.
