SHIP DEVICE USES
 F0GH0RN RADIO TO
 DETERMINE DISTANCE

WASHINGTON. Jan., 9, (P)- "A radio sound device for minimiz- ing danger of navigation at sea is being tried on the Clyde in England, the Department of Commerce is in formed by its office at London
 It is a combination of raido tele- phone and foghorn and is based upon relative speeds of transmits sion of radio and sound signals
 When the foghorn on the Cum brae Lighthouse sounds, the radio telephone inside it at once begins to count, one, two, three, the inter val btween the figures represents the length of time that sound takes 10 travel mile. When the count begins the radio operator on the re- ceiving ship listens for the foghorn and upon hearing it, notes the dis tance in miles between the ship and the lighthouse.
 This method of calculating dis tanceS is reminiscent of htat pre- scribed in naval papers of some 30 or 40 years ago, when the distance to hostile ship was computed after determining the flash of the hostile gun and the sound thereof.
