Washington, ID. C.-In Il general way
It is known that during the war n
method was found 20 communicate
| with submerged submarine from
shore or sea. How this is done and
how il came to be discovered that ii
| could be done not until now has been
made public. Like good many other
revelations it came when the research
ers were at work on another problem.
The scientists of the radio section
of the bureau of standards stumbled
on its secret and the lucky ones to sus-
pect it were two young assistants not
long out of high school. Their expert
mentS and the development of what is
known rs the loop aerial for Subma-
rine radio communication by the bu-
reau resulted in device so simple
and perfect. and producing such Won
derful results, that the navy has
adopted it and is equipping all IFS I'M
dersea craft with this style of loop.
In the fall of 1917 a series of expert
mentS was undertaken by the bureau
to develop an apparatus for the detec-
ton of enemy submersibles. ]. A. Will
lOughby and Z. d. Lowell were en-
gagged in the work. They had q notion
that a closed or rubber encased coil
of wire offered the best chances for
success. They made one and threw
1t one night into tank of fresh water
on the grounds of the bureau near
Chevy Chase, Nd, n suburb of Wash
ington. TO their delight they received
q signal from the big radio station at
Arlington. The next night they sub
merged the coil in the tidal basin of
the Potomac near the new navy build
ing. Again the signal came with no
difference in strength whether the loop
or coil was suspended in air or sunk in
the river.
Discovery Significant.
The significance of this discovery
struck both young men. Here was a
way possibly TO detect the presence Of
enemy submarines but surely 10 talk
