TRANSMISSION OF POWER

EXPERT’S PREDICTIONS

The telegraphic transmission of •photographs' between Sydney and Alclboui ini, to operate about next April or May, is likely to be eclipsed before -very long by the transmission of pictures and business documents by wireless botwueiu Australia and ■oversea, couiyFies.

Tli© transmission of power b t y radio, J now the subject of'experiment, is regarded by some! of Sydney's wireless' experts as another practical poss»-1 bility. Tn Sydney, however, as is the, case ill the United States, there, are two divergent schools of . with respect, to power transmission, by radio. Sonic, while admitting the possibility of sending l useful quantities of electric energy from..one point to ianothcr by radio, are ap'i to scoff at the idea of- such a., thing being practicable. Their contention is.that the cost of a [power-transmitting station oiild be prohibitive. , After'all, bow few people 11 decade or two ago could lntvo visioned- the wonders of to-day Po.wer-tyaitsnns- . siou by radio might be nearer than people imagine, “lie rounded world is fair to see; ten ti,mo.s folded in mystery.’’
