I wonder with what. We had only one radar in use and it worked like photoelectric cells - it could tell that "something" had crossed the beam, approximatively where, but not what, how many and how high. It was so trustworthy and useful that it was abandonned soon after May 10 when it became saturated by too high a number of aircraft flying past the beam.
