' Gunther Sheet Metal N Works 31 North First West American Fork Precision performance in modern warfare is exempli ..ed in the synchronisation synchronisa-tion of the twin .50 caliber machine guns which fire directly between the blades of the propeller on the Bell P-39 Airacobra fighter. The 37 mm. cannon fires through the hollow propeller hub. The propeller goes 'round and 'round but it never hits the bullets bul-lets that flick right past its whirling whirl-ing blades. The reason why is a story of technical precision,. Air warfare requires precision, and aircraft experts worked long and hard to attain the degree of perfection which permits firing 650 projectiles per minute from two or more machine guns through a three or more bladed propeller whirling as high as 1500 revolutions revolu-tions a minute. There can't be any slipup either; a .50 calibre projectile would make a large hole in a propeller blade. When he finds an enemy target, the American combat pilot can be confident that pressure of his finger on the control stick trigger will send a stream of projectiles through the spinning propeller because be-cause technicians ? have, using a combination of mechanical and electric control, achieved a perfect synchronization. In the P-39 Airacobra produced by Bell Aircraft Corporation of Buffalo, New York, for example, two .50 calibre fuselage guns are adjusted to fire through the infinitesimal infini-tesimal space left by the blades of the prop rotating so fast that the eye cannot follow jt. .Each bullet clears with about ; four inches to spare. i " ," It readily .can be seen that a control of Swiss watch accuracy is needed to synchronize the gun with the propeller. The device that does this is an "impulse generator" which turns energy emanating from the propeller into . electrical impulses. im-pulses. These impulses shoot through a steel wire to the gun at a rate of 4500 per minute. Since the weapon can only fire and recoil 650 times in that period, only every seventh impulse fires the gun. ' ; Before an Airacobra leaves the factory, the guns are synchronized mechanically. i -; :,-,. First use of a synchronization system was in World War I when Tony Fokker, Dutchman designing pursuits for Germans, built a cam controlled system which was the ancestor of our present 'system. The Allies were mystified - by the system of the propeller-gun arrangement ar-rangement until one of the German planes was shot down. The new method quickly became standard for all pursuit tci-aft; ; As the'-tatf- fireon standard machine guns increased since that first system, and the number of propeller blades has increased also, the space in which the synchronizing synchron-izing must be. dope has become even smaller,! the; task: more exacting LI.
