RUM-CHASING FLEET
GETS BEST EQUIPMENT
Uncle Sam Orders Gyro-compass
Installed ON Coast Guard
Cutters.

The largest vessels Of Uncle Sans
new rum-chasing fleet are to be
equipped with the latest and most re-
liable development of the compass
the gyro-compaS aSs--it was announced
today by the United States Coast
Guard
Already the first instrument of this
kind has been installed on the Coast
Guard cutter Mejave and arrange
ments are being made for the install
lation OF this type of compass on
number of the larger destroyers o..
the anti-rum fleet.
The gyro-compass represents the
latest in the science of direction find
ing, and today is said to be used for
navigation and guntire control in the
principal navies of the world and by
65 OF the largest ship operating COM
panies.
The Government is thus overlook
ing no opportunities in making the
rum m-chaSers the most reliable and ef-
ficiently equipped vessels possible.
The use Of the gyro-compass not only
simplites navigation, but materially
increases the efficiency of ship opera
ton, in that it steers straighter
courses than is possible with the old
magnetic compass. and with less use
OF the rudder. 1t is said also to be
more accurate in avoiding the errors
to which the magnetic compass is
susceptible.
