Aeroplane Launched From Moving Warship

For the first time an aeroplane has been launched from a ship under way. The New York Times of November 7 brings the news:—
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, announced tonight [November 6] that the aeroplane launching device that had been under test at the aeronautic station at Pensacola for some time had finally been installed on the cruiser “North Carolina,” and that on Friday an aeroplane was successfully launched from this device while the “North Carolina” was under way.
Thus new inventions are being constantly added to the many which human ingenuity has produced in this present century of great achievements.
