Navigation by Wireless
"THE navigation of a ship from Finisterre to Liverpool through fog solely on wireless bearings, is réported in a communication from the master of the motor-vessel Athelking. The Athelking carries a "Marconi Direction Finder, and, commenting upon the efficiency of coastal wireless beacon installations used in conjunction with the ship’s direction finder, the captain states that he was able to take the usual four points’ bearings for some distance off in spite of the fog. -The report again emphasises _ the valuable aid rendered to navigatiof, by wireless beacon stations, two mor@pf which have recently been completed by the Marconi Company for ‘Trinity House. Installed at Cromer and Dungeness lighthouses, they will prove a very useful addition to the facilities available in the Channel and North Sea to ships equipped with wireless direction firiders.
