A MILLION PER SECOND.
George Westinghouse Tells of Elec-
tricaI Waves and Wireless Trans
I1nifferS


"It may interest you 10 know that
the frequency of the electrical waves
sent out by some forms of wireless
transmitters approaches a million
per second" said George Westmg-
house in a recent adress at Atlanta.
"By an increase in the amplitude Of
these vibrations or by a more sensl-
tive receiver, the distance over which
these waves (they undoubtedly ex-
tend to an infinite distance) may be
recorded, can be greatly increased.
"In an experiment made by DR..
Peter Cooper Hewitt, with powerful
wireless transmission apparatus. IN
Guiding a mercury vapor interrup-er,
/. was found that the effect OF the
the frequency discharge upon
the iron in the building occupied,
such as water and heater pipes, quick
IL produced incipient fires within the
room where the apparatus was erect
ed, thus demonstrating the wonder
full power of this incomprehensible
force and suggesting great possibili-
ties in the transmission Of electrical
energy without wires.
THE transmission Of electric en-
ergy without wires. which will be es-
pecially valuable for signaling pur-
cry at a distance, will undoubtedly
play a most important part in army
and navy operations"
