BEAM WIRELESS.
SYSTEM DEFENDED. Australia Has No Need. For Pessimism. GREAT VOLUME OF TRAFFIC. (By Ctble.—Pren Association.—Copyright.) (Received 12.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, this day. Mr. E. T. Fisk, managing director of the Amalgamated Wireless, commenting on the eable from London concerning the operation of the beam service, eaid that from his experience of the operation of the system, nothing had occurred to justify so pessimistic a report. To date there had been no delays In the service which was dally handling a great volume of traffic at high speed. On one or two occasions, however, there had been an accumulation of messages which had justified the com* pany In diverting a small portion of it to the cable service, but there had been no interruption of a serious character. The period of fading at the changeover time in which the direction of the I beam transmission altered to obtain the benefit of darknees, was never long in duration and the service was usually available for seventeen hours a day and sometimes 23 hours. It was always possible, Mr. Fisk continued, to communicate at least nine hours daily, but it was seldom the period was so short.
