Abstract
AN international meeting on radio aids to marine navigation arranged by the Marine Division of the Ministry of Transport began in London on May 7 and is continuing for about three weeks. More than a hundred delegates from seven Commonwealth and fifteen other countries are attending as representatives of the mercantile marine and associated interests all over the world. The object of the meeting, which was opened by the Right Hon. A. Barnes, Minister of Transport, is to inform other countries of what is being done in the United Kingdom in the application of radio and radar techniques to marine navigation, to seek information on similar work in progress in other countries, and to prepare a provisional case for international standardization of radio navigational systems with special reference to the problems of the allocation of frequencies.
