RADIO DISCOVERY.
CRYSTAL SET TRANSMITS. ODD EFFECT OF ZNDUCTXOH. MUSIC AND SPEECH REPRODUCED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. According to the " Star's" wireless : writer, what is believed to be a unique' discovery in wireless transmission and reception has been made by Mr. Frank N. Sinclair, of Scarborough, Sumner. Briefly his discovery is that without the aid of batteries or an ordinary microphone, a common crystal set, with a pair of 'phones, acts as a'wireless transmitter when coupled to an aerial which is placed close to the aerial of a valve receiver. The valve set's aerial system picked up by induction from the crystal set's aerial music and speech delivered close to crystal set 'phones in a house 120 ft away. These were reproduced by a neighbouring valve set's loud-speaker.
