Ships Work Steadily : i
For weeks the vessels steam
slowly to and fro over the sunw)
expanse, through fog. rough seas
and dangerous tides.
Submarine fiiting devices of
the woiid war, adapted to a mar
velous accuracy in the fathometer
and an adaptation of radio are the
Surveyor's principal instruments.
The fathometer employs sound
waves to rend depths virtually in
stantaneously withottt stopping the
s.hip. The device sends a sound out
from an oscillator on the bottom
of the ship, 'and u micliroproiie
picks up the echo as the sound
cniiies back reflected I mm the bot
tom. Knowing the speed of sound in
water, the depth can be calculated
hy the elapsed time for the echo to
return. The Pioneer makes a depth
reading every 200 feet in water
about :?U feet deep.
Device Marks Bottom
The radio device marks the posi
tion of the bottom whore Hie
depths are read. It . is called the
l. A. It., which is short for radio
acoustic range finding. A small
bomb is exploded behind the Sur
veyor. Sensat ive hydrophones in
the water hear shore pick up this
sound, and transmit il hy land
lines to shore staiinns.
Automatically the shore station
sends a radio signal back to (he
vessel. Although these stations
are 20 lo ait miles apart, and the
Surveyor ofien out of sight of land,
the underwater sound wave and re
turn radio signal enable her offi
cers to slick u pin in her position
as accurately as it the two signals
wore measuring reds reaching out
