Abstract
THE meeting of the Institution of Electrical Engineers held in London on January 26 marked a historic occasion in so far as part of the proceedings took the form of a joint meeting with the Institute of Radio Engineers in Hew York, the two audiences being connected by a trans-Atlantic radiotelephone link. The American Institute was holding its first post-war winter technical meeting, at which several papers dealing with such subjects as broadcasting, navigational aids, radar, industrial electronics and radio wave propagation were being presented. The particular paper selected for the joint meeting of the two bodies was entitled “An Introduction to Hyperbolic Navigation”, and was read in New York by Mr. J. A. Pierce, who has played a large part in the successful development in the United States of the radio navigational system known as Loran (LOng RAnge Navigation) [see p. 152 of this issue].
