RADIO GUIDES
BLINDED SHIP
Successful Demonstration Of
New Device Marks Epoch In
Navigation History.

NEW YORK, Oct. with the
glass front Of the bridge covered
with canvas, rendering him blind to
all intents and purposes, Commander
II. II. Norton, u. s. A., piloted the
destroyer Semmes through Ambrose
channel to Fort Lafayette, q dis
tance of fifteen miles. The only
guide he had was the radio plotting
cable, which is being developed to
safeguard merchant marine ships at
sea and to facilitate their entrance
into fog shrouded harbors.
PUTS END TO FOG PERILs.
IL ia expected that eventually all
the dangerous channels In the world
will be provided with guiding cables.
and that every ship viii carry the
equipment. Just as they do compass
or a pair of binoculars, thus putting
an end to periis due to fog.
Another demonstration OF the sys-
tenn will be given on Friday. when
the attaches of all the foreign govern
| ments at Washington Will be taken
through the channel by the "sightless
pilot.
| Past the dangerous bend In the
channel lust OF Roamer Shoals, where
many a pilot has met disaster. Com
mander Norton guided the Semmes as
straight asa die along the center OF
the ships roadstead. Then. approach
ing Fort Lafayette, with hundreds OF
ships OF all descriptions on every side
he continued triumphanuy on his
"sightless" way.
YOUNG MANS INVENTION.
| The occasion was the nrst test by
the Government of the invention OF
Carl c. Hanson. a boyish twenty-eight-
year-old man from Los Angeles.
During the war there was much
comment as to just how the warships
were able TO move through the mine
infested waters. Just recently II has
become known that they operated by
a system Of audio-frequency sound
waves.
For months past men have been
busy laying an insulated electric caole
along the entire length OF Ambrose
channel. 1t required $1,000 feet OF
cable. The terminal of the generator
producing the alternating current Is
connected at the shore and to a grouno
| current
| Aboard the Semmes the only snip
vet equipped to use the new inven-
tion) are two coils Of copper wire on
the bow. These coils pick up the eiec-
trio current and transmit II 70
small set Of amplifiers.
