' 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

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. Re
cently a new destroyer left Norfolk,
Va.. bound for Newport. H. I. ? ordi
narily no great feat of navigation.
However, the compass was new and
untried, and the captain and the navi
gating officer prayed for clear weather.

Some years ftjjo In Switzerland, on

Of the supposedly enormous strength
of those historic warriors we have no

very much lighter than has commonly
