Three young British scientists — Chick, Eastwood and Oxford — first adapted a radar system to searchlights in June 1940. This equipment, known as SLC (searchlight control), or Elsie, significantly increased the liklihood that a passing aircraft would be "caught" in the beam. By 1942-43, the system (pictured above) became semi-automated and each searchlight (and antiaircraft guns) could be fitted with four-foot radar "mirrors" and could track a target automatically.
