The
Transition
from
Metre
to
Centimetre
Waves
We
now
know
rhat
before
the
outbreak
of
war
several
countries
were
ahead
of
Great
Britain in rhe
construction
of
centimetre-wave
radars.
For
example,
the
German
Navy
demonstrated
a
continuous-wave
ship-detection
system
at
Kiel
in I ()34,
working
on
a
wavelength
of
13 .5
centimetres.
In 1935,
the
passenger
liner
NormanJi,·
carried
a
very
similar
16
cenrimetre
svstem
which
indicated
that
there
were
icebergs
ahead
.
This
latter
was
no
secret
and
was fullv
described
in
manv
- -
newspapers
at
that
time.
To
be
perfectly
fair,
these
were
not
true
radio
location
systems
but
obstacle
detectors.
