Depth sounders popular aid;
Essential for navigation, safety
The depth sounder is the most
commonly used electronic aid.
As appropriate in fresh water
as salt water, the sounder can
serve as a navigation aid, a
warning device to prevent
running aground, or as a fishfinder.
A far cry from the lead line
made famous by Mark Twain
and from which he took his pen
name, the electronic lead line
gives the boatman continuous
readings without venturing out
on deck in rain or fog. It also
removes the risk of a heavy
lead weight smashing a windshield
or hitting a guest on
deck.
Today's boatman takes
sounders for granted but the
lead line was the only device
until Professor Reginald
Fessenden, a scientist with the
'former Submarine Signal
Company of Boston attempted
to use underwater sound to find
a method to detect icebergs.
That was in 1914, two years
after the liner Titanic ripped
herself open on a berg off
Newfoundland. Aboard the
Coast Guard cutter Tampa on
International Ice Patrol, the
team of Boston scientists and
engineers lowered their noise
generator into the sea when the
cutter came alongside an
iceberg. Special underwater
microphones picked up the echo
and the whip backed off a
..'quarter mile, a half mile, a
mile, and then two miles. The
echo from the berg grew
distorted and confused but
there was a consistent, strong
echo at a mile... the ocean
bottom. The depth sounder was
born. World War I delayed
further experimentation as the
company's engineers were fully
committed to methods of
detecting submarines.
Work resumed again after
the war following the
development of several
prototype models for the Navy
and for the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, a commercial model
was introduced in 1924. It was
trademarked a "Fathometer"
and was an immediate success.
Submarine Signal Company
and its famous trademark and
sounders became part of
Raytheon Company in 1946.
Today some 40 companies
make depth sounders of different
types and for different
purposes.
Sounders on display at boat
shows and in dealers' show
rooms include four types of
indicators, graphic recorders,
and combination recorderindicator
units.
The most widely used
sounder is the flashing light
indicator. It has a round face on
which is inscribed a scale in
feet or fathoms. The outgoing
signal shows a flash at zero on
the scale as the pulse of
ultrasonic energy leaves the
transducer under the boat's
hull. When the signal hits
bottom or a fish in between, the
echo bounces back up to the
boat where it is picked up by the
transducer and converted to an
electronic signal. This produces
a flash on the scale at the appropriate
depth. This type of
sounder can also tell the experienced
boatman something
about the character of the
bottom. A strong single echo
suggests a flat hard bottom, a
series of echoes at approximately
the same depth
tells him it's rocky, and a
broach flash hints of a soft
muddy bottom.
This interpretive information
isn't available with the digital
type or meter type sounders
whose advantage is a report of
the moment that is easy to read
even in bright sunlight on a
flying bridge. This type is
popular with new boatmen or as
a second unit on a flying bridge
where a bottom depth check is
wanted when running a channel
or entering a new harbor.
Because they lack the interpretive
data they are not as
popular with serious fishermen,
the graphic recorder leaves
its reading in the form of a
mark on a graph. This recordkeeper
then presents a profile
of the bottom telling the
boatman dramatically when he
passes over a shoal, a drop-off,
or a sunken wreck. This kind of
information is most helpful to
the fisherman and to the
navigator, particularly when
he's short-handed and can't
devote his full time to watching
a flasher or digital unit to tell
when he crosses a particular
fathom line or when he reaches
the underwater canyon's edge.
On a recorder, fish show as
marks at the intermediate
depths. By comparison, no
record is kept of fish spotted on
an indicator. Unless the
fisherman watches the indicator
he could miss their
echoes. Commercial fishermen
depend on recording units to
spot schools and many veterans
can identify the type of fish by
the appearance of their echoes.
Combination indicatorrecorder
sounders give the
boatman the profile graphs for
tracking fish or for navigating
and when these are not
required they offer the present
depth for checking without
using the recording paper.

Public Safety Commissioner
Luther L.Wallace, III, reported
that since the first of the year
the City has received $5,048 for
the sale of beach tags for the
coming season through the
mail.
Wallace also promised Henry
Dagit, of 4021 Central av., an.
answer by the middle of next
week on his request to have the
City open up the five beaches
now used by catamaran
sailboats to the smaller
monohulL variety of sailboat..
During the public hearing
portion of the meeting, Mayor
B. Thomas Waldman fielded
questions concerning the
proposed bond ordinance of
nearly $1 million to acquire
beachfront property and redeck
the boardwalk.
In answer to questions by
Jack Bryson and Jack Bittner,
Waldman noted that the
necessary five percent of the
required monies are included in
the 1977 City budget. The expenditures
are considered a
capital outlay and will be paid
off through bonding over a
period of years. Waldman
pointed outh that presently the
municipal bonded indebtedness
is the lowest in the City's
history.
Waldman also announced in
reply to a question from Bittner
that the City will hold a night
public hearing on the bonding
issue on the Music Pier at a
date to be' announced: The
