WONDERFUL WAVES
RADIO EXPERIMENTS DIRECT TRANSMISSION. ) VALUE IN TIME OF WAR. t United Press Association —By Electiic Telegraph. — Copyright .] (Received 9 a.m.) BERLIN, June 25. The Telefunken Company announces that experiments which were begun in 1933 with decimetre waves, namely, I from 10 centimetres to one metre, are now far advanced. It claims that the waves can be transmitted in a straight line to a given destination without possibility of detection by anyone outside the line of transmission. Also, they are immune from atmospherics and other interferences. The company states that the waves will be of immense value in time of war. Even if decimetre waves of the same wavelength are used by different stations, interference can be eliminated by toning the apparatus in the required direction . Furthermore, a magnetrum gridless valve, no bigger than a man’s thumb, has solved certain reception problems. The demonstration today showed that the waves can be used to assist in guiding ships and aeroplanes by the craft keeping in a path as directed by a ray.
