POSSIBILITIES OF WIRELESS
TRANSMISSION OF POWER FORECASTED. [By Electric Cable —Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable .Association.] LONDON, Oct. 27. “We are far from ;using electric waves to anything like the full extent,” said Senatore Marconi when addressing the Institute of Civil Engineers. "They will possibly be used in future to transmit power for moderate distances. If we succeed in perfecting a device for projecting waves from parallel beams in order to minimise the dispersion into space, atmospherics have ceased to be a serious hindrance. This is a bold statement, but I speak confidently. Fading is still troublesome, but waves of 15 metres are receivable over long distances better in daylight, than at night. The recent Anglo-Canadian tests prove that beam aerials and reflectors at both ends give signals 100 times greater than non-directional transmissions.”
