QUARTZ FOR RADIO TRANSMITTERS
DISCOVERY WITHIN EMPIRE i (BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.) | RUGBY, June 16. The discovery within the British Empire of quartz crystals of sufficiently fine quality to be used for maintaining the frequency of radio transmitters is reported by the Imperial Institute. The new source of supply is in Uganda, in a district where alluvial gold is being washed. Commercial tests are stated to have proved satisfactory. Previously Brazil and Madagascar have been the two chief sources of these crystals.
Besides being used in normal radio transmission, quartz crystals are in demand for apparatus required in depth sounding at sea.
