BEAM WIRELESS.
1 TESTS OF AUSTRALIAN SERVICE. OFFICIALS HOPEFUL FOR SUCCESS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received 11.40 a.m. to-day. LONDON, March 11. Despite the strictest official reticence in all quarters, the Australian Press Association understands that there is much hopefulness that the beam tests will work out to specifications. As soon as they end, at nine o’clock tomorrow night, the whole of the week’s figures will be analysed and deductions made for errors, to see if 100 words per minute for seven hours daily have been maintained. If so the engineers will give a certificate of efficiency, and the Marconi 'Company will request the Post Office to take over the station. The latter will ask the Australian _ company’s assent, after which it will be perhaps a week before the service will be open to the public. It is understood that Marconis arc most anxious to be able to announce a success at Tuesday’s reorganisation meeting.
