PROVING CRE1T BOON
TO MODERN SURVEYING
It was tedious in the old days,
when ships forced by fog, rain and
haze, to cease sounding, lay at an
chor waiting clear weather. With
mountain tops .hills, and all estab
lished signals obscured, there was
nothing else to do.
But today the modern survey
ship no longer is held idle by any
thing but roughest weather—with
the new invention of “R -A. R.”
Today—a short four years, for it
was only in 1928 that R.-A. R. was
put into practical use by the Unit
ed States Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey, this is all changed.
Already equipped with that
greatest boon to mariners—the fa
thometer, which with neon eye
“sees” the bottom of the ocean—
marine survey ships outfitted with
R.-A.R., or “radio-acoustic rang- j
ing.”
The system briefly is this: At,
two points on shore, usually 50 to
100 miles apart, two radio stations
are established. Suspended in the
ocean at each station is a “mag
netophone,” or listening ear.
While the ship is steaming out at j
sea, a T N T bomb is dropped ov- j
erboard- When it explodes, a;
short distance behind the ship,
sound waves travel from it at a
known rate of speed to each mag
netophone. There they are picked
up, amplified in the radio station,
and transmitted over the air to the
ship.
This whole process is recorded
The explosion of the boom, the ar
rival of the bomb concussion at
the radio station near the ship,
and at the radio station at a dis
tance—or, both vsltations equidis
tant—all are shown on a strip of
half-inch tape.
By a simple calculation of time
intervals, the correct triangle is
drawn with each radio station as a
fixed corner of the triangle, and
the position of the ship is shown
to within a few feet.
By this modern—almost ultra
modern-means of position finding,
the ship is independent of visual
signalling to the shore. It can
work thru the thickest rain and
pea-soup fog, if needs be.
R.-A. R. wras used first on the
California coast in the 1928 season,
where it was especially useful in
the frequent fogs and rainy weath
er there. Thereafter it was brot
to Alaska each year with the Dis
coverer and the Surveyor, frequent
callers in Seward and Kodiak; but
it never has found extensive use
in this region.
Two factors in Alaska generally
obviate the necessity of A.-A. R.
They are greater percentages of
clear-weather days, more sunlight
per day, an a greater amount of
inshore work, due to the many
bays, straits and islands.
But whenever there is far off
shore sounding to be done—as in
the present season, the Discovererj
is going to sound in the Portlock j
Bank off Kodiak Island 50 to 80s
miles—the R.-A. R. gear is dusted j
off and set out for use.

mean a value of approximately
$6,000 per ton in that content alone.

have left Juneau for the south end
of Admirality Island to make a close
study of brown bear conditions and,
as far as is possible to count bears’
noses. The object of the expedition
is to arrive at an approximate fig

bear poupulation is a debated ques
tion. Estimates ranging from 500 to
5,000 have been made. Men like Al
len Hasselborg, Mole Harbor big

and 1,000.
