C„ TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1926 ' RA? >IO CHANGING METHODS OF NAVIGATION OF SHIPS Old Methods Not Needed Now That Radio Methods Are Available San Francisco, Feb. B—G4>)—Radio, which has dissipated the pall of lone liness thnt once overhung ships on the isolated parts of the high sens, also is effecting a marked change in navi gation methods. More than half of the larger boats visiting I’aeific Coast ports are now getting direction signals over the sound wave and as a result the older, more cumbersome ways of figuring dists-'ces, longitude and iptiude ».j* failing. The information that goes to the captain in his chart room through the “direction finder” enables him to de termine his exact position at sea. without reference to the ship’s speed or detailed log. A “loop," which is the antennae, is operated on bearings like a weather vane-at the top of its shaft. When this is swung into a position thnt gives the maximum in tensity of sound, determined by ear, it is pointing directly at the signalling shore station. It then is swung at right angles so that no signal what ever is received. In this position dials and hands op erating over a Spcrry-gyro compass record the direction of the ship, elim inating the necessity of figuring varia tion because of magnetic attraction, as must be done with a compass. Another advance ill navigation creditable to the radio is the manner of giving Ships at sea the correct time. In the old days the captain set his chronometers when in port or offshore where he was within range of a flashing light signal, the drop ing of a metal ball or the whine of a siren. These adjuncts are still employed but the navigator need not depend on them. For he can get his time at stated intervals no matter in what part of the world his ship may be. Those on the Pacific from Alaska to Korea—are given a time signal ev ery day at 10 p. m. San Francisco time. It has been caught from points as distant as London. The time given to the navigator is “accurate at one part in 170,000,” which in lay terms means that it is not ijm error more than a half second. To the average man a "sec ond” means littie; to the Mare Island Naval observatory it is l-86-400th part of a day. Time is measured much more minutely than by “sec onds.” however. The observer gets liis time, not from the sun as is popularly sup posed, but by the movements of stars, which are invariable. If a mistake of a half second should be made one day it would almost inevitably be corrected the next time the observer peeped through his telescope and saw a certain star pass a fixed point in the heavens, determined by a line on the telescope.-- Glrl of Nine is Ready to Go to High School.
