WIRELESS WAVES
NOT USED TO THEIR FULL EX fVA’T MARCONI PROPHESIES BIG DEVELOPMENTS. London, October 27. “We are far from using electric waves to anything like their full extent,” said Signor Marconi, addressing the Institute of Civil Engineers. “It will possibly be used in future to transmit power moderate distances, if we succeed in perfecting a device for projecting waves from parallel beams in order to minimise dispersion into space. Atmospherics have ceased to be a serious hindrance. This is a bold statement, but I apeak confidently. Fading is still troublesome. but waves of fifteen metres are receivable long distances better in daylight than at night. Recent Anglo-Canadian tests prove that Beam aerials and reflectors at both ends give signals a hundred times greater than non-directionai transmissions. —Sun Cable.
