RADAR FIRSTS

FIRST RADAR OBSERVA.
TION-September 1922, when
DR.. A. Hoyt Taylor and Leo
{. Young. in Naval Aircraft
Radio Laboratory, noted that
radio signals were reflected
by tall buildings and by pass
ing ships.
FIRST AIRCRAFT APPLI-
CATION - June 1880. when
l.. A. Hyland. working under
DIR. Taylor, noted that an air
plane crossing line between
radio tranSmitter and reCeiv-
err. gave an interference pat
tern indicating the presence
of the aircraft.
FIRST AR MY EXPERT
MENTS-After January 1882,
when Navy passed on to War
Department the results of its
10 years of research. At this
time, detection of aircraft 50
miles away was possible. BY
1884 the distance to these
planes could be accurately de-
termined.
FIRST USE ON A BAT
TLESHIP - 1889, when an
experimental set was install
ed on USS New York, and
successfully detected presence
of destrOyers hidden in fog
eight miles away.
FIRST RADAR CONTRACT
October. 1899. when six sets
were ordered by Navy from
X. {. A., for installation on
battleships.
FIRST USE OF AIRCRAFT
- Boston, 1889, for a blind
landing.
FIRST USE IN WAR -
1910, when British, who had
conducted indepen d n re-
search and development, used
their radio lOcators to spot
German aircraft long before
they reached the Eng ish
shores, enabling Raj planes
to intercept them to win the
Battle of Britain.
FIRST L. S. USE IN WAR
- At Pearl HarbOr, Dec. I,
l941. when Private Joseph
Lockhard, off duty, detected
approach of pl lanes which
turned out to be Japs. though
Lockhard's warning was un-
needed.

IRodor> Wars Best Kept Secret
is Now Revealed by Washington
BY PETER EDISON
NEA Washington Correspondent

WASHINGTON 49, Biggest and
best kept open secret Of the war
has been the development and
use Of radar short for radio
detection and ranging.
Ten million people, more or
less. who use radars in combat
or make them in factories are
familiar with some of the details.
Furthermore. the British have
them, and the laps too. Yet be-
cause of the intense rivalry be-
tween the Allies and the enemy
and the amazing speed at which
Improvement and new applica-
tons have been developed by
the radio scientists, Army and
Navy and Office Of Censorship
have ruled that radar be kept
on the restricted list.
UNCANNY
Since April l943. when the
Army and Navy issued a joint
release on the background OF
radar development, the subject
has had practically no public
mention, beyond its mere nam
ing. But military intelligence
services have confirmed that the
enemy knows as much about
some phases of radar AS do u
s. and British scientists, and
therefore a part OF the story
can now be told.
Among the uncanny uses OF
the electronic super adgets are
these,
|. They transmit screen OF
radio waves from shores, ships
and military positions through
which wave screen il is impos-
sible for the enemy 10 launch
an attack without being de-
tected.
2. They find targets that can
not be seen by the human eye
when these targets are hidden
by darkness or clouds.
g. They aim naval and anti
aircraft guns against targets that
the gunner cannot see, deter
mining the range to those tar
gets.
4. Coupled with intricate me-
chanical brains and computing
machines. they make possible
the firing of those guns at the
correct split second to insure
hits or near-misses on their tar
gets, making full allowances for
movement of the target and at
mospheric variations.
5. They show bombing planes
where they are going and the
broad outlines of the terrain
that lies below them. even when
the earth's surface is hidden by
night or clouds
s. Coupled with automatic pi-
lots, they make possible the fly
ing Of planes TO invisible tar
gets.
7. Coupled with bomb sights.
they make possible the release OF
bombs al the precise moment to
secure bombing almost as &C
curate as can be obtained with
direct observation of target un-
der conditions OF good visibility.
