Salzburg was scandalized. The world première of the new opera, Danton's Death, was all set-and then the conductor stomped off after a rehearsal. It was a faint echo, at least, of the hectic days of the Salzburg Festival's patron saint, when Wolfgang Mozart dashed off the overture to Don Giovanni the night before its première in Prague...
Arthur discovered a talent for preaching. One day, a lay preacher in the town fell ill and asked Arthur to take his place. From then on, though he was only 16, his fluent voice began to echo through the Welsh valleys. Old Jim skimped to send the youngster to a Baptist training college...

When these echo back from the ground (or from the sea or buildings), a receiving apparatus measures the time the waves take to make the round trip. If any return quickly enough to indicate that an obstacle is within 2,000 ft. from the airplane, a bell rings and a bright light flashes in the cockpit. The pilot can then pull into a climb in time to avoid any "terrain" hidden in the overcast (see diagram...
