New York. Not the least of the
dangers attending the business of be
ing a mariner has been that ot losing
one's bearings while at sea. Time was
when the sailor's life was more re
plete with danger than in these days
of advanced maritime efficiency. But
though the ocean terrors were elim
inated one by one until there remained
little to be afraid of, there still was
the disconcerting possibility of a ship
losing itself; of fogs and compass ir
regularities; of mishaps to instru
ments and disabilities of steering
mechanisms. Thus every so often a
liner or freighter or a warship was re
ported "lost in the fog" or "out of
its course."
The United States naval communica
tion service has perfected a system of
triangulation that has eliminated the
possibility of further maritime reports
of this sort. It is not the discovery
of any one man. Indeed, it truly can
not be classified as a discovery. It Is
simply a perfection of a basic ruleof
position finding that has formed the
fundn mental of range determination
in the army and a straightforward
geometric theorum concerning inter
secting lines. ,
. System Explained. 1
The perfected system has been in
use in the American navy for a year.
At 44 Whitehall street the system was
explained briefly by attaches of the
New York district central controlling
radio station, j
It is to be ajssumed that a ship is
a hundred miles off the middle Atlan
tic coast. She has lost her bearings
Her navigators are unable to tell her
latitude and. longitude. At once the
bewildered ship's radio flashes the
American coast a demand to be told
the data she needs most:
"Where am IT
The request coming within the sec
tor for which the New York district
central controlling radio station is re
sponsible, the appeal is received by
five radio compass stations located at
Montauk Point, L. L; Fire Island,
Rockaway Beach, Sandy Hook and
Mfttitoloking, N. J.
Each of these stations is connected
with 44 Whitehall street by telegraph
and telephone. These radio compass
stations cannot communicate with the
"lost" ship, as they are receivers only
and not transmitters. However, each
of the radio compass stations notifies
the central station . In Whiteall street
that a ship within the district Is de
manding to know its location. Imme
diately i the central station radios the
bewildered mariner to continue flash
Ing his call letters for at least , thirty
seconds. And at the same time the
radio compass stations begin obtain
ing bearings on the ship.
Then Its Simple.
The operators in the five stations
turn their compass wheels until each
has an accurate bearing. These five
readings are transmitted to the cen
tral station where, on a huge chart,
the five readings are combined. Each
reading will indicate a certain num
ber of miles between the ship and the
station that took the bearing. It is a
relatively simple matter, then, to
project these lines upon the chart un
til the five lines intersect. And that
point of Intersection is the location
of the calling ship. Acknowledgment
from the ship completes the operation
Every American port is now being
safeguarded by just such systems oi
radio compasses and central stations.
Within a few months, at any point
along the coast, marirfers will be abl
to approach channels, reefs and shoal
waters with an absolute assurance
that they will not proceed too near,
nor yet exercise such great caution
as. to throw them out of their course
And thus also is the danger attending
fog banks eliminated.
, Lieutenant Commander R. B. Coff
man, U. S. N., is superintendent of th
central station at 44 Whitehall street
Lieut. M. W. Arps, U. S. N., is it
direct . charge of the New York dis
trict.
Just a Quiet Smoke,
But It Shocked Some.
Topeka, Kan. Clouds of
smoke coming . from the wom
en's waiting room at the Rock
Island depot here caused the
patrons of the room to make an
investigation. Over In the cor
,ner, smoking a clay pipe peacV
fully, was an aged woman, all
unconscious of the excitement
she was causing. When the ma-:
tron told her it was not the
place to smoke,; the aged wom
an calmly went ,'outside the de
pot and completed"5 her smoke.
She said she came from the
mountains of Kentucky and was
on her way to Nebraska.
