Description
English: US Army aircraft sound locator apparatus and searchlight, 1932. Before radar was developed in World War 2, acoustic horns like this were used to detect the sound of approaching enemy aircraft at a distance. Stereo horns, one attached to each ear, allowed the observer to judge the direction of the aircraft. The horns were used in pairs; the horizontal pair to determine direction and the vertical pair to determine elevation.
