War Necessity Mothsred Il
Especial attention was paid to the
development Of the radio direction
finder during the war when many fight
ing ships found that fog was almost
on a par with submarines as a naval
menace. Experts thereupon expert
mented to discover q certain method
OF giving ship her reckoning" when
the sun was obscured. The radio d.
rectiOn finder In Its most modern form
was the result. 1t Is now proving Its
great usefulness in time Of peace.
Merchantmen are constantly using
our stations to find out where they
are" said naval officer. II 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 operat.
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 foggy day they are constantly al
work directing ships which have gone
astray. All the listening stations
Transmit their information to head
quarters and headquarters tells thu
skipper where he is.
Some elderly naval men were skep
teal about the radio direction finder
when the navy department first intro
duced the device. but one experience
with the instrument usually suffice,
to convince them of Its worth. Re
