PATHS OF OCEAN
LAID BY MACHINE
Mechanical Navigator Keeps
Ships on Right Course;
Tests Set for Tomorrow

Everything is In readiness for the
first practical test OF Captain r. T.
Lawless' mechanical navigator, which
will be made on board the Oceanic
Steamship company's steamer Sonoma,
which leaves this port tomorrow for
Sydney, Australia
G. G. Reiniger, former midshipman
in the United States navy, will con-
duct the test and try to demonstrate
to the officers of the Sonoma that the
device precludes the possibility of
faulty calculations in computing the
lengthy and involved mathematical
problems which confront the navi-
gator.
The invention is said to record the
latitude and longitude of ship and
ton made by the ships officers. OBJ
waiting all chances of the personal
errors which. say mariners. are re-
sponsible for great majority of the
casualties which occur at sea-
In view of the fact that all mari
time nations are striving to improve
the safety of ocean travel. the out
come of the trial test of the me-
chanical navigator will be watched
with great interest
If the test proves complete sue
cess, and naval authorities who have
experimental with the machine, say
that theoretically it is perfect, the
invention will be installed on all
ships owned by the Oceanic Steam
ship company, and later probably will
be adopted by the United States navy.
