"Sport and General" Photo. GOLF PRIZES WON AT RYE, SUSSEX.—From left, Bernard, Darwin with the Captain’s Prize, and R. H. de Montmorency, holding the famous President’s Putter, adorned with silver balls of past winners, with G. H. Mellin. All three are well-known English golf players.
"Sport and General" Photo. MICRO-RAY LINKS ENGLAND AND FRANCE.— At Lympe, Kent, on January 26, Sir Philip Sassoon, Under-Secretary for Air, officially opened the world’s first commercial micro-ray radio service between the civil airports of Lympne, England, and St. Inglevert, France. The service is provided and operated by the British and French Air Ministries, and has been inaugurated to speed up the transmission of essential messages between the two stations, particularly to aircraft crossing the Channel. The system radiates less power than is required to light a pocket flash-lamp, from aerials less than an inch long, and operating on a wave-length of approximately 17 cms., the shortest ever put into commercial use. The illustration shows the reflector which concentrates the waves from the aerial, much in the same way as a searchlight beam is intensified.
