VERY FAST TELEGRAPHY.
(Received November 29, 5.55 p.m.)
LONDON, Nov. 28,
That the day may bo near at hand when Empire newspapers will be published simultaneously in London, Capetown, Sydney, Montreal and Calcutta, is one of the many amazing claims made for a new invention of high-speed telegraphy by Colonel Adrian Simpson, at a dinner at a London hotel.
It is known as the " stenote radiostat," and was invented by Dr. James Robinson, late chief wireless research worker in the Royal Air Force. Other claims are that it will permit of an unlimited number of broadcasting stations. - Between the wave lengths of 300 to 600 metres 5000 stations could be employed, whereas the present limit is 25, and 10,000 words a minute could be telegraphed, with great reductions in the cost of telegraphy and telephony.
Ten times the amount of traffic could be carried on existing lines. The whole contents of a large daily newspaper, with letter-press and pictures, could be faithfully transmitted any distance in a few minutes.
Lieutenant-Colonel Adrian Simpson was director of wireless telegraphs to the Government of India,- 1919, and was deputy managing director of the Marconi Wireless Company, 1922-27.
