The contents of the War tuba page were merged into Acoustic location on February 11, 2017 and it now redirects there. For the contribution history and old versions of the merged article please see its history.
The paragraph on sonic weapons seems misplaced here. The Japanese War Tuba was a sensor for detecting the presence of aircraft. It had no application as a weapon, nor was it designed to produce sound. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 132.79.14.16 (talk • contribs) 18:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Agree entirely. That material belongs in the (existing) article Sonic weaponry, which the author may not have been aware of. I added a {{mergeto}} tag, with the corresponding tag on the other article. MCB 21:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This topic seems to be a little narrow for an article. The Japanese "war tuba" was only one of many acoustic locators that were used by numerous nations between World War 1 and 2 to detect incoming enemy aircraft by sound. Pictures of others can be seen at Commons Category:Sound locators. The British used concrete sound mirror dishes; pictures can be seen at Commons Category:Denge acoustic mirrors. I suggest expanding this article to cover all these interesting devices and renaming it something like Acoustic aircraft detection. It could also be merged into Sound location, but that is a pretty broad article and covers sonar, bat echolocation, and seismic surveys as well. --ChetvornoTALK 10:20, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
