Abstract
SOUND ranging consists in the location of the source of a sound,such as the report of a gun, by means of measurements made on the sound-wave which spreads from the source. When it seemed probable, in the latter part of 1914, that the struggle in France was going to develop into trench warfare, the possibility of locating enemy batteries by this means was recognised, and many experiments were started independently to find a method of sound ranging which could be used in the field.
