determining the sense of direction of the incoming signals. However, theuse of the latter is liable to be attended with undesirable complications in thatthe same-acts'likea body reflecting the electromagnetic radiationsand this in'turn occasions a certain angular displacement or shift of the plane of the waves falling in the directional antenna.
It has beensuggested in the prior art to mount the auxiliary antenna inthe axis of rotation of the direction-finding frame antenna (see, for example, Keen, Wireless DirectionlFinding, secnd edition, page 113-, Fig. 106 and page 116, lines However, even in this 6 and from below). scheme mutual influences between the two antennae are not' entirely precluded inasmuch as then mutual electrostatic-actions occur on account of the proximity of the two antennae.
Now, according to this disclosure. perfect -cooperation of the direction-findingantenna and. the auxiliary antenna or'auxiliary antenna lead disposed in the axis of rotation thereof is made possibleby that for the purpose of insuringprotection from mutual influences, a grounded metal tube or'pipe, or some; similar metal protection :means, is providedb'etween the auxiliary antene na lead and the windings or leads of the directional antenna; r
In. case the direction-finding antenna is en closed withina weather-proof pipe, the latter could be used as the auxiliary antenna: or antenna lead. i Y
In order that also the lightning protection means may be arranged as symmetrically as feasible in relation to the directional antenna, it is" a particularly advantageous scheme to employ the said weather-proof pipe as one pole of the lightning protection device; The invention will be better understood by reference to the drawings throughout which like reference numerals indicate. like parts and in which,

Fig. l of the drawings shows a fundamental key diagram. of the arrangement according to this invention. Referring to the'drawings,;a de-" notes -the auxiliary antenna which is neutralized (uncoupled) in relation to the supply leads I, .2, 3, l, of the coil aerial by means of a grounded metalprotectionmeans E. The coil aerial consistsjfo r instanceof two coil windings RI and R2 which may be. connected in series or in parallel according to requirements Fig. 2 shows an elevation of the arrangement according to this invention in combination with a weather-proof direction-finding antenna, the weather-proof pipe of which at the same time device. 11 here denotes the weather-proof pro- The posi-. tion of the winding of the directional antenna in- 'sidesaidj protective pipe is shown by way of ex-- ample for the section AB inLFig. 2a.

It may be identical with the auxiliary antenna A when the latter constitutes a simple linear structure (see Fig; 3), or else it may serve asthe lead brought to the auxiliary antenna consisting, for instance, of two diagonal wires Al, A2,
and being disposed in horizontal sense (Fig. 3).

are the lightning protection horns adapted to conduct a lightning stroke that has struck the antenna from the frame to earth.
As can be seen from Fig. 2b, the lead 5 of the auxiliary antenna is disposed inside a ground metal protector sheath 6 so that it is perfectly screened from the adjacent leads |4 of the directional antenna.
