Two Security men grimly stood by each camera amid a glittering miscellany of microphones. Joe was lucky. Or perhaps Sally pulled wires. Anyhow, the two of them had a vantage point for which many other people would have paid astonishing sums. They waited where the circular ramp between the two skins of the Shed was broken by the removal of the doorway.
Then, each flanked by two of the Marines, they moved toward the Palace's immense main entrance. As they neared it, the newsies crowded closer and began clamoring for information, shouting questions, brandishing cameras and microphones.
Which, of course, implied that the Invaders whoever or whatever they might be considered Coburn a useful tool for whatever purpose they intended. This was before the conference officially began. It took time to arrange. There were radio technicians with microphones. The consultation duly scrambled and re-scrambled would be relayed to Washington while it was on. It was a top level conference.
Then, by measuring exactly the time-interval between the arrival of the sound at each observation post, the bearing to the gun can be calculated." "Until quite recently the Germans used four human observers, who timed the sound intervals with stop watches. The British used six microphones of a special type, connected electrically with a photographic-recording apparatus.
An observation with the microphones disclosed the fact that the destroyer was moving out into the North Sea. "Guess they think they got us that time," suggested Lieutenant McClure to his executive officer. "Was rather a close call, come to think of it," smiled Cleary.
The Greek general spoke. He said that since they had come so far out from Salonika, it was too early to leave again. It might be a good idea to have a party. Some music would be an excellent thing. He said he liked Earth music very much. A long time later Janice and Coburn were alone in the one room of the house which was not wired for sound. There were no microphones here.
It does not appear, however, that microphones of the ordinary Gower-Bell type, for example, were tried in competition with the new invention, and in the absence of such tests the mere fact that very satisfactory results were obtained over a length of 200 miles proves very little.
Creeping along at half speed, the Dewey veered slightly to starboard and steered a course N.N.W. toward the oncoming craft. After cruising thus for a quarter of an hour the submarine was stopped altogether again and her captain conferred again with his wireless chief. "She seems to have changed her course," announced Smith after listening intently at both port and starboard microphones.
In broadcasting a play from a theatre, when the speakers are moving about, the only way of dealing with the problem is to use several microphones and a mixing device which enables the engineer to change silently from one microphone to another, or to combine them in varying proportions. Some rapid switching may sometimes be necessary.
Aroused from his slumber, Sammy Smith took charge of the electrical receiving room and after listening for awhile gave his opinion that the approaching ship was moving south along the Belgian coast and distant from the Dewey about a mile and a half. From the faint registrations in the microphones he judged it to be a vessel of light draft -probably a small cruiser or a destroyer.
