Extract

This paper deals with the improvement to be gained by using position lines from two Decca chains to obtain a fix in areas where a single chain fix is liable to extensive errors.

Recently The Decca Navigator Company, with the cooperation of the Admiralty, undertook a series of trials between Scotland and southern Norway, using the English and Danish chains of stations outside the normally used coverage of either chain. The results obtained were highly satisfactory and an account of them is given in this paper.
