BEAM WIRELESS
AUSTRALIAN SERVICE.
OPERATING SATISFACTORILY. STATEMENT BY MR. FTSK. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received 12.30 p.m. to-dav. SYDNEY, Aug*. 16. Mr. Fisk, managing director of the Amalgamated Wireless, commenting on the cable from London’concerning the operation of tlie beam service, said that from his experience of the operation of the system, nothing had occurred to justify so pessimistic a report. To date there had been no delays to the service, which daily was handling a great volume of traffic at high speed. On one or two occasions, however, there had been an accumulation of messages which had justified the company in diverting a small portion of it to the caWe services, but there had been no interruption of a serious character. The period of fading at change-over time in ■which the direction of beam transmission was altered to obtain the benefit of darkness, was never long in duration and tlie service was usually available for seventeen hours a day and sometimes twenty-three hours. It was always possible, Mr. Fisk continued, to communicate for at least nine hours daily, but it was seldom that the period was so short.
