Aside from the beneilts being de- rived from static as a storm detector, radio experts hope that the photograph- ing of the phenomenon may lead to the solution of the problem it presents to radio reception. The apparatus comprises a radio compass, which gives the direction, together with a weather map machine which records the static impulses. Intensive study of these photographs jointly with other ob- servations may yield a clue as to what static actually is and how it can be counteracted or eliminated.

Despite the fact that the apparatus has been adopted for use by the Navy. experts in the Bureau of Engineering. Bureau of Aeronautics and Hydro- whole, it still remains a mystery. The day is foreseen by neval experts when masters of ships will be enabled to direct their vessels well out of storm zones by forewarnings of static impulses received and recorded on their auto- matic_static recorders.
