"The new electronics sys tem may represent a major gain in both."

one-tenth of a second. U. S. Army and Air Force meteorolo gist are testing the first installation which has its headquarters in Kansas City, with shf re- rriote lightning detection stations across the central United States. Kemote stations in tne new com plex, the Lockheed executive explained, are located at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, and at civilian airports In Waterloo, Iowa, Huron, S.

and Goodland, Kansas. Each lightning station contains a special radio receiver tuned to pick up the radio static that. lightning generates. This is the same crackling, hissing signal often heard on home radios during a local electrical storm. Decoded By "Brain" Tjie electronic instruments detect such static almost simultaneously at continental ranges.

Each registers the time and compass direction of the flash Snd codes the information into "Ma-; chine language" and relays If to the Kansas City central monitor. There an electronic brain decodes the information, calculates the position of the lightning bolt by triangulatlon and displays It on a Special electronic map of North America in a fraction of a second. The system can track a storm's -movement all the way across the continent. a CMtWIHO vvm Diriributed by Haynes Bros. Candy Co.
