The Principles and Practice of Radio Direction Finding

Hardback. First Edition. Wear and tear to D/J. Price clipped to D/J. The principle object of this book is to provide a brief yet comprehensive text on all aspects of radio direction finding, sufficent for the needs of navigating officers - both student and qualified masters and mates. The book is divided into four sections. The first section covers the general electrical theory which forms the basis of all radio work; the second deals with these principles as they apply to radio direction finding. The third discusses the principal direction finders most commonly to be found on British ships, and the fourth covers the principles and operation of the Consol system of hyperbolic navigation. The radio direction finder is the only electronic aid to navigation that must, by law, be carried on all but the smallest British ships, and this book should provide a valuable addition to the library of every navigating officer.
