USED IN SYDNEY. Wireless is a necessary auxiliary in a modern police force, and the New South Wales police, not to be lagging in this respect, has lately had installed additional and more modern equipment for the tracking of misdoers. A 2 kw. transmitter, consisting of transmitting panel and rectifier panel, has been installed by Amalgamated Wireless (Australasia) Limited at Pennant Hills wireless station. The apparatus was manufacturedj in Australia at the radio-electric works of A.W.A. This apparatus is “remote controlled,” for while the equipment is located at Pennant Hills, the control apparatus is situated at police headquarters in Phillip Street, and consists of speech amplifier, microphone, monitoring receiver, and Morse key. There is also a private telephone line between police headquarters and Pennant Hills wireless station. By means of this apparatus, it is possible for the police, who maintain their own staff of operators, to transmit messages either in Morse code or speech to the police patrol cars which are wireless equipped.
