WAR NECESSITY MOTHERED IT Navigator Who Wishes to Know Hit Latitude and Longitude 8ends Out Wlreleaa Meeeage and Listen. Ing Stations Qlva Bearings. ' New York.? INigs. cloWds and storms are losing tMr terrors for naval men. Iu the not very distant pa*t a ship that could navigate when the sun was hidden became the subject of wild sen faring tales, but the radio direction finder has eliminated many of the per ils dm* t?> the ahscnce of the Him. To day a navigator who wishes to know IiIh latitude ami longitude has only to send the following wireless message: MThls Is the (ship's name). Where am I.?" And the data supplied by the various listening stations will give him his hearings. The wireless direction finder Is not a new device ? finders were patented as long ago as 1M7 ? but war developments have empha sized the value of the Instrument for general navigation, says a writer In the New York Evening Post. It consists of a loop of wire at tached to receiving machines.. When messages* are being received (he waves set up a current In the two sides of the loop. If the waves strike both sides of. the coil equally there Is no differ ence in voltage: Hut when the waves strike the coll In such a manner that there Is a difference in voltage be tween the two sides of the coll the re ceiving machines indicate the extent O* this difference* Ry making mathe matical calculation* based on this dif ference It Is possible to determine the direction of the ship which is sending In relation to the port which is re celling. in order to locate the ship* posi tion- exactly the data from at least two receiving stations must he com "pared nii'l It Is desirable that another station send its data to check the ac curacy of the finding. War Necessity Mothered It. Especial attention was paid to the development of the radio direction finder during the war when many fight ing ships found that fog was. almost on a par with sulmnurlnes as a naval i menace. Kxperts thereupon eXpe.ri *mented i?i iliK?'ovt'r a certain method of giving a ship tier "reckoning" when the sun was obscured. The radio di rection finder In Its most modern form ?was the result. ? It Is HOW proving lf<T ?'Merchantmen are constantly using our stations to find out where they are," said a naval officer. "I should say that for one warship that calls for its bearings there are ten' privately owned vessels. Our radio direction finding stations are really becoming public service Institutions." ? The onv> has erected amMs opera t ing stations at the entrance of alirtt>st a.ll of the large commercial ports in the country. There are several stn t ions near New York harbor, including Montauk Point. Fire Island. Sandy Hook and k'ar Uockaway. On clear days the men on duty at these posts have more or less of "sinecures," but on a foggy day they are constantly at work directing ships which have gone astray. All rhe listening stations transmit their Information to head quarters and headquarters tells the skipper where he is. Some elderly naval men were skep tical about the radio direction finder when the navy department first Intro duced the device, but one experience with the Instrument usually suffices to convince them of Its worth.
