“ELIMINATION OF STATIC”
BRITISH EXPERT’S CLAIM.
London, January 4.
Mr. R. 'Watson-Watt, superintendent of the Radio Research Station, has demonstrated before the Imperial Institute a “miracle tube,” designed , to eliminate static from wireless receivers and flickering from television pictures.
Mr. Watt denounced atmospherics as “the radio criminal.” •"< , • “We are discovering his features, drawing his portrait, and circulating it, just as Scotland Yard does, in order to capture' him and end his mischief.” he explained. The tube also registers, within 30 seconds, storms and lightning flashes within a radius of 3000 miles, thus permitting more accurate weather forecasting and safer flying. . * / The device increases the certainty of locating ships in distress and of tracing disturbing wireless stations and .enemy positions in wartime. It costs £7 10s.
