Résumé

For the first time Toran has been used for a ship’s sea trials. After recalling the principles of this radio system and giving a brief description of the installations used in these trials, the present article supplies information on the procedures to be used and the performances to be expected from this system. Examples concerning speed, turning and crash stop trials show up the very good accuracy obtainable. Thanks to this an elaborate analysis of the kinematic properties of the tracks is made possible.
