WIRELESS TESTS
MUCH WORK AHEAD. APPARATUS FOR ENGLAND. CONTINUOUS SERVICE THE OBJECT. Press Association —By Telogroph—Copyright WASHINGTON, January 15. (Received Jan. 16, at 7.25 p.m.) The American Telegraph and Telephone Company has announced that sending apparatus for trans-Atlantic wireless telephone messages will be installed in England within a few weeks. It will make possible complete conversations, and while months of research and development work must yet be done before such communication can bo put to commercial uses, it is felt that success will be achieved in the not far distant future. The company’s experts are wrestling with the problem of communication in the daytime, since the sun proves a serious interference. They hope to achieve a 24-hour day wireless telephone service between London and New York. One of the most important developments in making possible high-power radio telephony is the production by Engineer Irving Langmuir, of special vacuum tubes, developing high frequency, alternating currents.-—A. and N.Z.
