Abstract :
A description of the circuits, construction, installation, and use of the Marconi Bellini-Tosi marine radio direction finder is given. The method of determining "sense" as well as "line of direction" of a distant station is explained. The various forms of errors in reading and the methods of reducing or eliminating these are discussed. The paper concludes with a description of a number of cases where the Marconi direction finder has contributed to the safety of life at sea in stormy weather.
