Magnetic anomaly
[edit]- ... that an instrument used to measure magnetic anomalies was originally developed to detect submarines during World War II?
5x expanded by Yuriybrisk (talk), RockMagnetist (talk). Nominated by RockMagnetist (talk) at 18:35, 25 March 2014 (UTC).
Article was expanded 5x within 5 days of DYK submission; article is long enough and has adequately references (though most sources are off-line) with no evidence of plagiarism; hook is appropriate length with off-line reference taken in good faith.--Orygun (talk) 04:56, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
By DYK rules, those sentences in the article that contain hook facts must be individually sourced. In this case, that's the Measurement section, second paragraph, first sentence. Please add an inline source citation for that sentence, even if it duplicates one or the other of the sources at the end of the paragraph, which it might or might not do. Thanks.

- @BlueMoonset: I added a couple of citations. Both can be verified online if you search "fluxgate magnetometer submarine". @Orygun: Pretty much all of the material in the article was accessible online when I added it, but Google Books and Amazon seem to provide inconsistent access.
