The Marconi company to preserve

A ship fitted with Telefunken aa-
paratus cannot communicate with any
ship fitted with the Marconi appara

cut off from communication with the
stations Of Llyod's Agency, as we'll rs

the world.
For this reason even the ships OF the
great German companies are equipped
not with the Telefunken system, bat
with the Marconi apparatus.
