Abstract: 10,153. Wilson, E., Evans, C. J., and Godsal, H. May 13. Radiations, electromagnetic, controlling apparatus by.-In controlling mechanisms by Hertzian radiations, receivers varying in sensibility are employed and are separately excited by varying the transmitters or the waves emitted by the transmitter. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing one arrangement of relay circuits for exciting one of three circuits. 1, 2, 3 are coherers of different sensibility controlling the relay armatures 4, 5, 6, and 12, 13, 14 are the coils of the mechanism to be controlled. Supposing the transmitter sends waves sufficiently strong to excite the coherer 2, the more sensitive one 3 will also be excited, but no current will flow through the coil 14 because the circuit will be broken at 11. In the arrangement shown, one battery serves for all the circuits, but with a slight alteration of the connections one battery may be placed in each circuit. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement in which electromagnets having opposite windings on the limbs are employed. Fig. 6 shows an arrangement in which condensers are arranged between the vertical wire 51 and the coherers 58, 59, and 60. The transmitter is arranged to vary the strength of wave by varying the size of the vane, or by varying the current in the primary, or by having separate coils &c.
