BEAM SERVICE.
NO SERIOUS INTERRUPTION. SAYS MR FISK, OF SYDNEY. (Received 16, 10.50 a.m.) 'Sydney, Aug. 15. ' Mr Fisk, managing director ot Amalgamated Wireless, commenting nn a cable from London concerning the operation of the beam service, said from his experience of the operation of the system, nothing had occurred to justify so pessmistic a report. To date there Had been no delays in the service which was daily handling a great volume of traffic at a high speed. On one or two occasions however, there had been an accumulation ol messages which had justified the company diverting a small portion of it to the cable services, but there bad been no interrupttion of a serious character. The period of fading at she ‘‘change over” time when the direction of beam transmission is altered to obtain the benefit of darkness, was never long in duration and the service was usually available for \7 hours a day and sometimes 23 hours.
h was always possible, Mr Fisk continued, to communicate at least vine hours daily, but it was seldom the period was so short.
