WIRELESS FOG SIGNALS FOR NEW YORK HARBOR Secretary Hoover Announces ‘Won- derful Systems Result of Government Tests. Three wireless fog signals for de- termining radio bearings will be im- mediately installed at the entrance to New York harbor through the light- house service, Secretary Hoover of the Depnrlme:’llmof Commerce .n-I t 2 e ignals have been developed the result of per ments by the bureau the lighthouse service and especially through the research work of the burezu of standards in improving the radio compass. They differ from all; other systems in use for determining radio direction in that the navigator himself can determine radio bearings just as he uses his magnetic compass for bearings in clear weather, and he does not have to depend upon expert radio operators. Another advantage is that the send- ifig apparatus is easily installed and can be operated by the regular light- | keepers without any skilled personnel and that any number of vessels at sea equipped with radio compasses may obtain their position at the same time without interference. The signals are to be installed on and_ Fire Island standards and and wil 1,000 meters, the international stand- ard for such signals. The lighthouse service plans to establish other sta- tions near the entrances to the prin- cipal ports and at other important paints on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts as rapidly as necessary funds are provided.
