He concluded from this that 1t would be
possible to construct large metal mirrors.
capable OF rejecting for several miles the
Hertzian rays, which, while remaining
invisible, would ignite any explosive SUBJ
stance encountered, such as shells and
gunpowder in magazines and cartridges in
soldiers belts.
Warships would be particularly vulner-
able owing to their extensive use Of cleo
triclty, while torpedoes on board Of them
could be exploded by an enemy whom
they we're designed to destroy.
