ADVANCE OF SCIENCE
FASTER COMMUNICATIONS NEW RESEARCH COMPANY (Rec. 1.30 a.m.) LONDON, Aug. 8. Air Vice Marshal O. G. Lywood, formerly the Air Ministry’s Director of Signals, has been appointed managing director of a £IOO,OOO research company which leading British cable and telephone manufacturers have formed with the object of assuring Britain’s position in supplying the world’s requirements for tele-communications equipment. The company has already established laboratories which will be staffed predominantly by scientists who wonted for the air supply ministry in developing radar and radio for the services.
Air Vice Marshal Lynwood said he foresaw the day when a world-wide system of radio teleprinting would link business men, no matter how remote they were from each other. They would send and receive messages in their own offices as easily and as speedily as British firms at present communicated with each other through land line systems. British engineers would astonish the world with the ingenuity which they were bringing to bear in the most modern industrial revolutions.
