[time-nuts] FW: Sun tracking program

Collins once made a sun tracker. It was a microwave antenna servoed to
equipment that followed a sun-specific noise spectrum. It allowed the
Navy to sight the sun in any weather, for navigation.

As a fan of servomechanisms, has anyone else heard of this? If I still
have the article and picture, it's buried deep. Still think one of them
would look good on the roof.
