(By The Associated Press)
London, Dec. 13, —Ex
periments having the Brit

S. Furious, as the center of
things, have recently been
secretly conducted in the
English Channel with no
foreign attaches as observ
ers, the aeronautical cor
respondent of the Morning
Post of London has learned.
Hitherto, although air
planes have been able to
take off from warships
when the latter were under
way, they cannot land un
der similar conditions ex
cept in exceptional circum
stances. Now an autogiro
not only took off from the
speeding Furious but land
on her deck and the corres
pondent adds:
“Thus the work begun
when a British autogiro
landed on and took off from
an improvised platform on
an Italian cruiser has been
carried a step further by
the admiralty.
“Already the army uses
autogiros for certain spec
ialized purposes, and as a
result of the latest experi
ments it is probably that
the navy will in the future
do likewise.
“One of the most remark
able features of the experi
ments was that one land
