Mainspring of the device is a newly-developed radio tube capable of generating for practical use an ultra-high frequency wave of 500 megacycles that is not affected by static conditions, has a cork-centre bounce, has a frequency that can be measured at distances as low as 50 feet off the ground. Sensitive at present to 5,000 feet, improvements in the tube and transmitter can extend the altimeter's effectiveness to 15,000 feet. As feeler for possible obstructions dead ahead, the present 5,000-foot range would be inadequate because it would give a pilot flying...
