RADIO GUIDES

in relation to the port which is re-

In order to locate the ships posi-
ton exactly the data from at least
two receiving stations must be COM
pared and it is desirable that another
station send its data to check the ac-
Curacy of the finding.
War Necessity Mothered Il.
Especial attention was paid to the
development of the radio direction

OF a par with submarines rs Il naval
menace Experts thereupOn expert
mented ia discover Il certain method
of giving IL ship her "reckOning" when
the sun was ObScurcd. The radio di-
rection finder in its most modern form
was the result. IT is now proving its
great usefulness in time of peace.
Merchantmen are constantly using
our stations to find Il where they
are" said n naval officer. Il should
say that for one warship that calls for
its bearings there are ten privately
owned vessels. Our radio direction
finding stations are really becoming
public service institutiOns.'
The navy has erected and is 0perat-
ing stations at the entrance of almost
all of the large commercial ports in
the country. There are several sta
tons near New York harbor, including
Montauk Point, Fire Island, Sandy
Hook and Far ROckaway. On clear
days the men on duty at these posts
have more or less Of "sinecures." but
on a foggy day they are constantly at
work directing ships which have gone
astray. All the listening stations
transmit their information to head
quarters and headquarters tells the
skipper where he is.
Some elderly naval men were Skop-
teal about the radio direction finder
when the navy department first intro
duced the device, but one experience
with the instrument usually Sufliccs
to convince them of its worth. Re-

However, the compass was new and
untried, and the captain and the navi-
eating officer prayed for clear weather.
1t Beats an Erratic Compass.
Despite their prayers they ran into
a heavy fog, and from the time they
left Cape Henry until they sighted
the reef lightship at the entrance to
Newport they could see nothing. New
ertheleSS, the run was made without
mishap. owing to the directions sent
out by the finding stations, and on
landing the officers, who had been
skeptical. were converts. 1t was dis
covered later that the magnetic COM
pass, by which they would have steered
under the old methods might have
brought them to grief, for it showed
an error of more than ten degrees.
"We are handicapped in extending
this work." remarked the naval officer.
"by lack of personnel. In fact. we've
been compelled to close up one or two
stations recently owing TO a shortage
Of men. But eventually we hope to
