with Each Other and With the
shore - Details of the Agreement
between LIoyds and the Marconi
Company.
The details of the agreement between
the Marconi International Marine
Communication company and Lloyds
are given in the current number of tne
London Electrician. BY the terms OF
this agreement the Marconi system OF
wireless telegraphy is placed upon a
secure and enduring footing for mer-
camille marine signaling and intercom-
munication between ships and coast
signal stations. AS is well known. up
to the advent of the Marconi system
communications between passing ships
at sea and between vessels and the
Lloyds signal stations have been by
Gag signals Against this system,
which has been in use for centuries.
many objections have been made. Dis
lance was always a dra wback as the
range of vision even on a clear day
is limited. and in foggy or stormy
weather or in the night no signaling
except the pilot fare and the signal
of distress is in vogue. Further than
this. ii has often been necessary for
vessel to go out of her course to sig
nal coast stations. thus losing valuable
time and often running into danger in
the effort to get near enough to the sta
ton to give and answer u,~--ns~--
Besides this, the system of flags is
cumbersome. and only few phrases
can be sent back and forth.
Now that the Marconi system has
been proved a success 1t seems strange
that there has not been more haste in
taking 1t up on all merchant vessels,
OF course the question of monopoly
will arise. for according to the agree
uent Iloyds will employ no other
system of wireless telegraphy than
that of the Marconi company for the
next fourteen years. but as the Morse
system and the telephone were monop-
olies it should be no drawback They
will receive commercial MESA ges at
their signal stations from any vessel
stumbled with the Marconi apparatus
and will also send messages to any
such vessel but they viii receive or
transmit no wireless telegraph COM
muuication whatever where vessel is
equipped with apparatus not supplied
by the Marconi company. BY this
agreement t.e monopoly is established
for il will be necessary for vessels de
string to communicate with shore IN
that way to get that particular appara
sus. Ii would he interesting TO know
what would he done In the case or sig
nails of distress. but 1t Is more tnaf
likely that This great possibility OF ths
