Three young Englishmen, Fran- cis and Peter Rodd, nona of Sir Rennell Rodd, late British Am- bassador to Rome, and Augustus Courrauld, have returned to Eng- land after many months spent in re-surveying Sahara.
They travelled by camel and their equipment included a speci- ally designed portable wirelers set. With this they picked up time signals, by ineans of which they fixed the latitude and longi- tude of, the mountains and val- leya and found existing maps in many cases inaccurate.
The maps they made are being presented to the Royal Geographi-- cal Society. The Touaregery, Ouareg, and Nomandic tribes en- countered by the travellers were invariably friendly - British Wireless.
