[ARC5] What the ZBX was?

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi Jan:

While working on adding the Ford patent for the AN radio range listed on the very informative Flying the Beams web page 
(https://flyingthebeams.com/) I stumbled across more Link Trainer patents, including 2485262 for the YE-ZB  system that 
allowed W.W.II aircraft to find their carrier.

The Fig 1 of the patent gives a good overview of how it worked.

Have Fun,

1. The extent to which you can fix or improve something will be limited by how well you understand how it works.
2. Everybody, with no exceptions, holds false beliefs.
