Or they copy one another, perharps (34) envy or perhaps because they have shared information about the products?

"Ranging" is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms What is the main topic of this 36 passage?
