Reporters realizing that this mass of clay will soon evolve into a $250,000,000 development, probably the largest, most important single architectural project ever undertaken in New York, clamored for latest details...
Inventor Otis Barton-Harvard graduate (1922), onetime Paris art student, African big game hunter-last year de-signed and built a diving ball which proved too heavy for any practical hoisting equipment. The present, successful model weighs two tons. The diving "bell" de-signed and operated in the Mediterranean with some success by Inventor Hans Hartman (TIME, Aug. 24, 1925) is cylindrical in shape with a rounded top, stabilizing propellers and a detachable sinker to be dropped in case of trouble. Barton's diving ball presents a minimum surface relative to content, hence has less pressure to withstand. Added...

The Hammond plan employs three radio compass stations, a television transmitting station and a minutely accurate model of the airport. Continuous radio signals from an incoming airplane would be caught by the direction-finders of the radio stations which would automatically transmit the plane's triangulated position to the television station. There, suspended above the airport-model would be a television "eye" (corresponding roughly...
