Search the NTSB and FAA web sites, they became the holder of
old accident data. The beam or Adcock Range was a four course range on low frequency radio. The pilot had to follow detailed procedures to locate their position and the range was flown by listen to a continuous Morse code tone of A .- and N -. There were some visual display indicators, but the tone signs were the most common method. The radio frequencies used were subject to many errors in alignment, static and even being jammed. http://www.williamson-labs.com/480_stpj.htm http://www.avweb.com/news/columns/182182-1.html -- James H.
