Gallery›Digital Commonwealth — Boston Public Library›Radar Storm Detector in Action -- Raytheon Manufacturing Company's new weather detector being developed for the Weather Bureau, works this way: radar signals are beamed from antenna through sky to storm up to 250 miles away. The signals bounce off storm and are reflected back to antenna where they are fed into weather station (below antenna in photo) and appear on console scope or screen. If operator wants more detailed analysis of any particular storm structure, he can single out disturbance and magnify it on screen.
