WIRELESS TELEPHONY.
LONDON TO AUSTRALIA. POSSIBILITIES OF 1928. Press Association -Electric relegrapli--Copyrigbv (Received Friday. 9.2(1 a.m.) LONDON. Thursday. The possibilities of 1928 include wireless telephony to Australia. The date depends on the result of Hie Alarconi experiments, the apparatus for which will not be completed till the results of experiments with the Canadian beam are known. It is understood that the British Post Office, within a few weeks, will announce that it has achieved a perfectly secret trans-Atlantic wireless telephony by means of disintegration and ‘•turning over” sound waves at the transmitting point and piecing them together again at the receiving point. Franklin, Alareoni’s right-hand man, is giving special attention to the cause and remedy of fading out on the Australian beam, which is now losing considerable traffic through the 12 hours fading from the late afternoon. It is suspected that this is due to summer time radiation of heat from the sands of Australia’s arid hinterland. It is hoped to overcome this next summer.
