DIRECTION FINDING
WIRELESS EQUIPMENT
NEW STATIONS IN BRITAIN
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, February 5. ,The Air Ministry announces that plans have been approved for the establishment of a chain of civil aviation wireless stations throughout the country so as to afford full facilities for direction-finding for communica-, tion with aircraft and between airports.
Three new stations came into operation last year at Hull, Portsmouth, and Belfast. A further six will be erected at suitable places during 1935 with the object of providing a direction-find-ing network covering the new internal routes as well as to serve the needs of individual aeroplanes. As the exact development of new air lines in Britain cannot accurately be predicted, wireless equipment will be mounted on vehicles capable of being, easily, moved from place to place. By this means the organisation of communication can rapidly and inexpensively,be readjusted as the development of air lines may require. In addition'to these'mobile stations a limited number of permanent stations of higher power are .to be erected.
