HEART BEATS SENT BY WIRELESS SUCCESSFUL LONG-DISTANCE TRANSMISSION Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, April 11. (Received April 12, at 11 a.m.) Transmitting on a wavelength of 10 metres, Mr Thornton Heath (an amateur) and Mr L. H. Thomas successfully transmitted to Vermont, America, heart beats recorded on a phonostethograph. The signals could be completely read at full volume. This is hailed as the first step in radio consultation. [A message received on March 22 stated: The research laboratory at King’s College Hospital has perfected a new device called a phonostethograph, which records heart beats on phonograph discs. These can be replayed for the purpose of diagnosis. _ It is hoped extend the scope to wireless transmission, enabling a heart case at sea to be treated from the shore.]
