...Honest. Everywhere, skeptics were alert for signs of a fix, but hard evidence of dishonesty was hard to come by. In the village of Thai Hiep Thanh in Tay Ninh province on the Cambodian border, a reporter watched suspiciously as Warrant Officer Le Van Thanh marched his platoon of armored troops into the school-house voting station.

Until now, Transit has been classified because it guides the Polaris missile submarine fleet, but last week the Government released it for use by any U.S. merchant ship...
...position data to a computer center at Point Mugu. There, projected twelve-hour paths for each satellite are calculated. The future position data is fed back to each satellite, which in turn broadcasts the information at two-minute intervals. A ship equipped with special receivers and computers can then fix its own position by measuring the shifting frequency of the Transit's beeping signals. This Doppler shift, similar to the falling pitch of a passing train whistle, gives the distance between the satellite and the ship...
