Echolot a German device used timed (Pings) developed in Interwar period. also applied to Blimps ( another Naval application!) as the Sonicaltimeter- note the blend word like modern computer-age run-ons. The Sonic Altimeter was used to determine ground clearance when crossing mountain ranges, for example, they were made by Echolot a German firm still in existence. Echolot was used on German Zeppelins in the altimeter mode.
