Excerpt from Papers and Transactions for 1919 and Proceedings of the Thirty-Sixth Annual Meeting at New Haven, February 17 and 18, 1920 I will say all used by our troops except a little purchased from the F rench - were manufactured by our laboratories at West Street. So far as I know the matter of sound-ranging equipment dur ing the active period of the war was the most closely guarded secret of the war. It was very closely guarded for the reason that the Allies had reason to believe that they had a better means, a better apparatus for locating the position of enemy guns than did the Germans; and for the further reason that they did not know of any of their secrets having leaked out. The result was that when we were set at the task of developing and completing this apparatus, we were impressed with the necessity of keeping everything very secret; and when we set to work to manufacture this apparatus the pieces were manufactured under faked names and in different places, and the assembling work, which was nor mally entrusted to mechanics, was actually done by two or three very high-priced and reliable engineers, who with their own hands assembled the apparatus, adjusted it, tested it out, boxed it up, sealed the boxes, and turned it over to the military forces for shipment to France. As a matter of fact, although I was in uniform and in charge of these laboratories, I found it difficult to get into the rooms where this work was done. The guards were very suspicious of everyone, and unless you had proper credentials, they would not let you in. Whenever the rooms were left, the locks were sealed and the seals stamped with the time, and were not supposed to be opened except by properly accredited Officers.

And passed from that to the work of the American Railroad Association which took up in Washington, at the close of Federal control. Some of the continuing operation that had been done by the Railroad Administration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
