COMMANDING    OFFICER 

SIGNAL  COUPS  AVIATION  SCHOOL 

HAZEUIURST  FIELD 

MINEOLA,  L.  I. 


As  there  are  numerous  young  men  training  in  this 
country,  both  in  ground  schools  and  at  flying  fields  for 
the  aviation  service,  and  as  much  of  this  will  probably  be 
performed  in  France,  it  seems  desirable  to  compile  a 
brief  glossary  of  commonly  used  aviation  terms  in  both 
French  and  English  to  facilitate  intercourse  between  the 
pilots  and  mechanics  speaking  different  languages  who 
work  together  in  the  present  emergency. 

These  lists  are  enlarged  from  a  briefer  series  prepared 
originally  for  use  in  teaching  classes  at  the  Signal  Corps 
Aviation  School,  Mineola,  L.  I.  The  illustrations  accom- 
panying the  text  should  make  everything  clear  about 
which  any  doubt  could  exist.  As  no  definitions  are  given, 
the  booklet  is  more  in  the, nature  of  a  glossary  or  list 
of  words  than  a  dictionary,  and  is  intended  only  for  use 
of  those  already  familiar  with  aviation.  Some  of  the 
equivalents  may  not  be  literally  correct,  but  are  selected 
with  a  view  to  listing  only  terms  in  common,  everyday 
usage. 

The  painstaking  work  of  Lieut.  Paul  Montariol,  of  the 
French  Flying  Corps,  assigned  as  instruction  officer  at 
Mineola,  L.  I.,  has  been  of  great  value  in  furnishing 
French  equivalents  and  insures  that  these  will  conform 
to  the  accepted  practice  abroad.  It  is  believed  that  this

compilation  will  be  of  some  value  in  securing  closer  co- 
operation and  more  intelligent  discussion  of  aviation 
subjects  between  members  of  our  oversea  aviation  forces 
and  our  non-English  speaking  allies.

Metric  System  and  English  Equivalents. 

The  Metric  System  is  based  on  the  Meter  which  was  designed  to  be  one 
ten-millionth  (rsreVTOs)  P?rt  °f  the  earth's  meridian,  passing  through  Dunkirk 
and  Formentera.  I^ater  investigations,  however,  have  shown  that  the  Meter 
exceeds  one  ten-millionth  part  by  almost  one  part  in  6400.  The  value  of  the 
Meter,  as  authorized  by  the  U.  S.  Government  is  39.37  inches.  The  Metric 
system  was  legalized  by  the  U.S.  Government  in  1866. 

The  three  principal  units  are  the  meter,  the  unit  of  length,  the  liter,  the 
unit  of  capacity,  and  the  gram,  the  unit  of  weight.  Multiples  of  these  are 
obtained  by  prefixing  the  Greek  words:  deka  (10),  hekto  (LOO), and  kilo  (1000). 
Divisions  are  obtained  by  prefixing  the  I<atin  words:  deci  (fa),  centi  (rfo)i  and^ 
milli  (TJS^).  Abbreviations  of  the  multiples  begin;with  a  capital  letter,  and. 
of  the  divisions  with  a  small  letter,  as  in. the  following  tables :

A  PRACTICAL  WORK 


250  Illustrations 


CONTAINING  VALUABLE  INSTRUCTIONS  'FOR  AVIA- 
TION STUDENTS,  MECHANICIANS,  SQUADRON 
ENGINEERING  OFFICERS  AND  ALL  INTER- 
ESTED IN  THE  CONSTRUCTION  AND 
UPKEEP   OF   AIRPLANE   POWER 
PLANTS 

The  rapidly  increasing  interest  in  the  study  of  aviation,  and  especially  of 
the  highly  developed  internal  combustion  engines  that  make  mechanical 
flight  possible,  has  created  a  demand  for  a  text-book  suitable  for  schools 
and  home  study  that  will  clearly  and  concisely  explain  the  workings  of  the 
various  aircraft  engines  of  foreign  and  domestic  manufacture. 

This  treatise,  written  by  a  recognized  authority  on  all  of  the  practical 
aspects  of  internal  combustion  engines,  construction,  maintenance,  and 
repair,  fills  the  need  as  no  other  book  does.  The  matter  is  logically  arranged; 
all  descriptive  matter  is  simply  expressed  -and  copiously  illustrated  so  that 
anyone  can  understand  airplane  engine  operation  and  repair  even  if  without 
previous  mechanical  training.  This  work  is  invaluable  for  anyone  desiring  to 
become  an  aviator  or  aviation  mechanician. 

The  latest  rotary  types,  such  as  the  Gnome  Monosoupape  and  LeRhone, 
are  fully  explained,  aa  well  as  the  recently  developed  Vee  and  radial 
types.  The  subjects  of  carburetion,  ignition,  cooling  and  lubrication  also 
are  covered  in  a  thorough  manner.  The  chapters  |on  repair  and  main- 
tenance are  distinctive  and  found  in  no  other  book  on  this  subject. 

INVALUABLE  TO.THE  STUDENT,  MECHANIC  AND  SOLDIER 
WISHING  TO  ENTER  THE  AVIATION  SERVICE. 

NOT  A  TECHNICAL  BOOK,  BUT  A  PRACTICAL,  EASILY 
UNDERSTOOD  WORK  OF  REFERENCE  FOR  ALL  INTERESTED 
IN  AERONAUTICAL  SCIENCE.

thoroughly  described  and  illustrated  in  this  admirable  work, 
are  rarely  to  be  found  explained  in  such  a  clear  and  con-

dies  for  the  press-forming  and  machine-forging  of  duplicate 
parts  of  metal.  The  book  contains  eleven  chapters,  and  the 
information  contained  in  these  chapters  is  just  what  will

THE     WHOLE     FIELD     OF     MECHANICAL     MOVE* 

MENTS  COVERED  BY  MR.  HISCOX'S. 

TWO  BOOKS 

We  publish  two  books  by  Gardner  D.  Hiscox  that  will 
keep  you  from  "inventing"  things  that  have  been  done  be- 
fore, and  suggest  ways  of  doing  things  that  you  have  not 
thought  of  before.  Many  a  man  spends  time  and  money, 
pondering  over  some  mechanical  problem,  only  to  learn,  after 
he  has  solved  the  problem,  that  the  same  thing  has  been 
accomplished  and  put  in  practice  by  others  long  before.  Time 
and  money  spent  in  an  effort  to  accomplish  what  has  al- 
ready been  accomplished  are  time  and  money  lost.  The 
whole  field  of  mechanics,  every  known  mechanical  movement, 
and  practically  every  device  is  covered  by  these  two  books. 
If  the  thing  you  want  has  been  invented,  it  is  illustrated  in 
them.  If  it  hasn'fl  been  invented,  then  you'll  find  in  them 
the  nearest  things  to  what  you  want,  some  movement  or 
device  that  will  apply  in  your  case,  perhaps;  or  which  will 
give  you  a  key  from  'which  to  work.  No  book  or  set  of 
books  ever  published  is  of  more  real  value  to  the  inventor, 
draftsman  or  practical  mechanic  than  the  two  volumes  de* 
scribed  below. 

MECHANICAL  MOVEMENTS,  POWERS  AND 
DEVICES.  By  GARDNER  D.  Hiscox.  This  is  a  collection 
of  1,890  engravings  of  different  mechanical  motions  and  appli- 
ances, accompanied  by  appropriate  text,  making  it  a  book  of 
great  value  to  the  inventor,  the  draftsman,  and  to  all  read- 
ers with  mechanical  tastes.  The  book  is  divided  into  eighteen 
sections  or  chapters,  in  which  the  subject-matter  is  classified 
under  the  following  heads:  Mechanical  Powers;  Transmis- 
sion of  Power;  Measurement  of  Power;  Steam  Power;  Air 
Power  Appliances;  Electric  Power  and  Construction;  Navi- 
gation and  Roads;  Gearing;  Motion  and  Devices;  Control- 
ling Motion;  Horological;  Mining;  Mill^  and  Factory  Appli-

MECHANICAL,  APPLIANCES,  MECHANICAL 
MOVEMENTS  AND  NOVELTIES  OP  CON- 
STRUCTION. By  GARDNER  D.  Hiscox.  This  is  a  sup- 
plementary volume  to  the  one  upon  mechanical  movements. 
Unlike  the  first  volume,  which  is  more  elementary  in  char- 
acter, this  volume  contains  illustrations  and  descriptions  of 
many  combinations  of  motions  and  of  mechanical  devices 
and  appliances  found  in  different  lines  of  machinery,  _  each 
device  being  shown  by  a  line  drawing  with  a  description 
showing  its  working  parts  and  the  method  of  operation. 
From  the  multitude  of  devices  described  and  illustrated 
might  be  mentioned,  in  passing,  such  items  as  conveyors  and 
elevators,  Prony  brakes,  thermometers,  various  types  of  boil- 
ers, solar  engines,  oil-fuel  burners,  condensers,  evaporators, 
Corliss  and  other  valve  gears,  governors,  gas  engines,  water

MARINE  ENGINES  AND  "BOILERS,  THEIR 
DESIGN  AND  CONSTRUCTION.  By  DR.  G.  BAUER, 
LESLIE  S.  ROBERTSON  and  S.  BRYAN  DONKIN.  In  the  words 
of  Dr.  Bauer,  the  present  work  owes  its  origin  to  an  oft 
felt  want  of  a  condensed  treatise  embodying  the  theoretical 
and  practical  "rules  used  in  designing  marine  engines  and 
boilers.  The  need  of  such  a  work  has  been  felt  by  most 
engineers  engaged  in  the  construction  and  working  of  marine 
engines,  not  only  by  the  younger  men,  but  also  by  those  of 
greater  experience.  The  fact  that  the  original  German  work 
was  written  by  the  chief  engineer  of  the  famous  Vulcan 
Works,  Stettin,  is  in  itself  a  guarantee  that  this  book  is  in 
all  respects  thoroughly  up-to-date,  and  that  it  embodies  all 
the  information  which  is  necessary  for  the  design  and  con- 
struction of  the  highest  types  of  marine  engines  and  boilers. 
It  may  be  said  that  the  motive  power  which  Dr.  Bauer  has 
placed  in  the  fast  German  liners  that  have  been  turned  out 
of  late  years  from  the  Stettin  Works  represent  the  very  best 
practice  in  marine  engineering  of  the  present  day_.  The  work 
is  clearly  written,  thoroughly  systematic,  theoretically  sound; 
while  the  character  of  the  plans,  drawings,  tables,  and  sta- 
tistics is  without  reproach.  The  illustrations  are  careful  re- 
productions from  actual  working  drawings,  with  some  well- 
executed  photographic  views  of  completed  engines  and  boilers.

TURBINES 


MARINE  STEAM  TURBINES.  By  DR.  G.  BAUER 
and  O.  LASCHE.  Assisted  by  E.  Ludwig  and  H.  Vogel. 
Translated  from  the  German  and  edited  by  M.  G.  S.  Swallow. 
The  book  is  essentially  practical  and  discusses  turbines  in 
which  the  full  expansion  of  steam  passes  through  a  number 
of  separate  turbines  arranged  for  driving  two  or  more  shafts, 
as  in  the  Parsons  system,  and  turbines  in  which  the  complete 
expansion  of  steam  from  inlet  to  exhaust  pressure  occurs  in 
a  turbine  on  one  shaft,  as  in  the  case  of  the  Curtis  machines. 
It  will  enable  a  designer  to  carry  out  all  the  ordinary  calcu- 
lation necessary  for  the  construction  of  steam  turbines,  hence 
it  fills  a  want  which  is  hardly  met  by  larger  and  more  theo- 
retical works.  Numerous  tables,  curves  and  diagrams  will  be 
found,  which  explain  with  remarkable  lucidity  the  reason 
why  turbine  blades  are  designed  as  they  are,  the  course  which 
steam  takes  through  turbines  of  various  types,  the  thermody- 
namics of  steam  turbine  calculation,  the  influence  of  vacuum 
on  steam  consumption  of  steam  turbines,  etc.  In  a  word, 
the  very  information  which  a  designer  and  buildec-  of  steam 
turbines  most  requires.  Large  octavo,  214  pages.  Fully  il- 
lustrated and  containing  18  tables,  including  an  entropy  chart.
