have all the elements needed for a SIM
pie trigonometrical calculation which

This. however. applies only to the
case where the waves are sent out
''undirected" on all sides. With "di-
rected" waves. which are now almost
universally employed as they were at
the time Of which l am writing, a
variation Of the process is required.
1t is then necessary that the waves
shall be sent either simultaneously or
at an interval from the point O sepa-
rately to A and B. This being done.

because Psyton would not designate
his location, and the waves had to be
sent out on all sides In order to find
him. The only problem for us saw
would be to induce Payton to commu-

AS soon as he should have done that

my explanation of the device.

Then he looked at me for a moment,

The next morning Mr.. Grantham and

Mr.. Grayman your machine and tell
him how it works"
The great Millionaire was as delight

"But how" he asked, after a mo-

different points? And how do we

"Then, as for inducing him to send
