Leviathan installs an RCA Radio Direction Finder ECENTLY an RCA Ra- dio Direction Finder was installed on the S.S. Leviathan. This new in- stallation, added to the presentradioequipment, makes the Leviathan pre- paredtomeet anynormal oremergency radio situa- tion which might arise. The accuracy, simplicity and speed with whichthe RCA Radio Direction Finder gives true bear- ings have won the en- thusiastic appreciation of the officers of the Leviathan. The captains RCA Radio Direction Finder proves itself invaluable in Malolo collision Immediately after the S. S. Malolo was rammed by the S. S. Jakob Christensen, a radio mes- sage for help was broadcast. The Tanker Gulfland answered. She was thirty - eight miles away. Her bearing was observed on the Malolo’s RCA Radio Direction Finder and she was given a course to steer. Messages were sent to the Merritt Chapman Company at New York requesting tugs and to the Coast Guard Base at New London for cut- ters. Thetrawler Fisher reported her position nearby and was given a course to steer. The bearings of the destroyer Shaw and the S. S. City of Pretoria were also taken on the Malolo’s RCA Radio Direction Finder and these vessels, too, were also given true courses to steer that brought them up to the Malolo through the fog. The direction finder was also used to guide the wrecking tugs as soon as they came _ within range. Without it the tugs might have been unable to find the Malolo until the fog lifted. One of them was passing several miles away when the Malolo took a bearing on her and straightened her out on a new course. Thus the great value and extreme accuracy of this latest and greatest aid to navigation was again strikingly demonstrated. of more than 300 ships equipped with RCA Ra- dio Direction Finders are strong in their praise of its dependability and all around excellence. We will be glad to take up with you in detail just how the RCA Radio Di- rection Finder will afford your ships greater safety and speed up running schedules between ports.
