to some extent in receiving sounds
of that pitch being transmitted by
other oscillators.
During the World War the enemy
submarine menace brought out in
Vulnerable schemes for detection and
destruction of submarines. but of all
methods suggested and tried that OF
detecting and determining the bear
ing by means of listening to the va
| rious sounds given off by the sub
marine are found to be the most prac-
tical.
The standard sound receivers then
in use on naval vessels proved to be
of little use because of the lack of
ability to determine direction accu-
rately and, further, to the fact that
the microphones and oscillatOrs would
not respond to the sounds of the par
ticllar pitch and intensity given off
by the propellers and machinery of
the submarines.
Under the stress of the submarine
menace. the Navy. working in con-
junction with the best scientific brains
available in this country. developed
many types of underwater sound
directional devices. some Of which
by British and American naval ves-
sells in listening for and making at
tacks on German submarines.
The most successful type of sound
receiver which was developed under
the conditions described was capable
of determining bearings Of submarine
sounds, regardless of pitch and with
out necessitating changing the course
of the listening vessel. This was con-
| sidered a great advance and a most
valuable naval device.
| Toward the end of the war 1t was
found that this receiver could be used
to sound the depth Of the water under
vessel by determining the angle of
reception of the vessels own pro-
peller sounds which were reflected
from the sea bottom. This device be-
came available for peaceful CONNER
cial use for finding the depth of the
| ocean.
THE Navy has found that the use
u of underwater sound receivers
for sounding In depths from 3 to 40
fathoms Is very useful in navigation
and permits vessels SO equipped to
obtain the approximate depth of the
water in which they are cruising at
all times without stopping or reduc

The standard underwater sound ap-

States entered the World War con-
sisted generally of Fessenden oscil

The microphones Of the later device
were tuned to pitch Of approximately
300 vibrations a second. and were
quite inse nsitive to sounds of lower
