The Navy gave Edison the use a vessel and during the summer 1917 cruised the Long Island Sound testing his listening devices. Several other teams engaged the same line research . Employing technology that had been developed for the phonograph and telephone, Edison constructed simple listening devices based phonograph reproducer attached to a long speaking tube which was connected amplifying device board ship. All the locaters then under development could not distinguish between the noise a submarine's screws and the background noise the search vessel screw's and water turbulence. Edison gave trying locate submarines distance and concentrated detecting torpedoes they came close to merchant ships. The problems Edison faced were increase the scale the technology and work for corresponding increase sensitivity. devised induction balance achieve this end but was not sensitive enough. Much this experimental ground had been covered the disc experiments and the development special dictating machines. Edison found out that the problem this type locater that conditions are never perfect.XII- 8 changes magnetic fields caused its metallic bulk passing through the water. The idea was good— it is the basis excellent modern submarine locater— but the right technology was not available.The listening device was placed the water about feet from ship and perfect conditions could detect submarine 5000 yards
