How British carrier aircraft gained a homing system

Who developed the homing equipment used by British carrier aircraft in World War II?

An Admiralty research office worked with the Farnborough aircraft establishment to develop it in the early to mid-1930s.

An Admiralty research organization worked with the aircraft establishment at Farnborough on the carrier homing system. Development began in the early to mid-1930s rather than appearing as an improvised wartime fix. The equipment addressed a basic carrier problem: an aircraft returning over open water had to find a moving ship rather than a fixed airfield. Its institutional origin connects navigation technology to the routine safety and tempo of carrier operations.
