A height finder is a ground based aircraft altitude measuring device.
Early height finder implementations were optical devices and later migrated to radar devices. Devices combining both optics and radar were deployed by the U.S. Military.
Famous quotes containing the word height:
“The enemy are no match for us in a fair fight.... The young men ... of the upper class are kind-hearted, good-natured fellows, who are unfit as possible for the business they are in. They have courage but no endurance, enterprise, or energy. The lower class are cowardly, cunning, and lazy. The height of their ambition is to shoot a Yankee from some place of safety.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
