Patrolling The
Main Stem
By BRICK MASON
RADAR: A former signal corps
lieutenant directing an army sig
nal corps laboratory group has
come up with a portable radar set
that can be held almost like a
camera. The set in fact looks
something like a press camera and
can spot moving objects more than
a mile away. The device can be
produced at a cost of fifteen hun
dred to two thousand dollars a
unit was developed under the di
rection of Lieutenant Harold Tate
and will be ready for mass pro
duction within the next two years.
Mr. Tate, who has been with the
signal corps for more than twenty
years is a native of Goldsboro,
North Carolina and a 1942 gradu
ate of North Carolina Agricul
tural and Technical College with
a bachelor’s degree in electrical
engineering. After service in
World War II he did special work
in electronics at Harvard and
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. He cites as one of the
chief advantages of the small
radar unit designed for front line
operation is that it can be used
effectively in fogs or at night.
The set was demonstrated in a
pentagon office and proved ef
fective against objects more than
a thousand yards away.
THE STEMWINDER SAYS:
“A necessity is something you
can’t get along without, but do. A
luxury is something you ought to
get along without, but don’t.
