COAST UNITED BY
WIRELESS SYSTEM
FEDERAL TELEGRAPH COMPANY
is USING THE PoULsEN
INSTRUMENTS.

SAN FRANCISCO, May THE ad-
vent of the Poulsen Wireless corpora
ton in the field of commercial wireless
telegraphy, through its operating agent,
the Federal Telegraph Company, has
caused widespread interest to be TAX
en- in the affairs of this organization.
This new wireless company has ac-
auired the exclusive rights for the
United States, Alaska, Cuba, Panama,
Porto Rico, Hawaiian Islands and Phil
ippine Islands, and the transmarine
rights of valedmar Poulsen, the emf
nent Danish scientist of Copenhagen.
Following years of scientific expert
menting, the Federal Telegraph Com
pany is now able to announce its wire
less service for Pacific Coast business,
including the sending of day and night.
messages, covering the following cities:
Seattle, Portland Roche Harbor,
Medford, Sacramento, Stockton, San
Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego,
Phoenix and FL Paso Night service will
be given to Chicago through Port
Worth, Dallas and Kansas City.
Privacy Assured,
Through the perfection Of the Poul.
sen system the hope of success for
day and night service overland has been
realized. This, it has been discovered
after years of effort along those lines,
could not be done by the spark system
of wireless telegraphy.
Drawbacks developed in the use of
the spark system show that its use Is
confined nearly exclusively to marine
work, and that messages can not be
transmitted as far in the daytime as
at night, either on land or over water,
Also there is no privacy III sending
messages by this system, as there are
so many amateur operators intereepting
them.
With the perfection of a high FIRE.
quency current system by Poulsen, and
adopted by the German, Danish and
Austrian governments, these draw
backs have been overcome. Not only
is privacy assured, but accuracy and
speed are attained through the equip
ment of mechanical devices for sending
and receiving messages.
400 Words Minute.
Where other systems receive from 20
to 80 words a minute, the Poulsen
method will insure the receiving OF as
high as 400 words a minute.
The Federal Telegraph Company now
has IA stations on the Pacific Coast
The company intends first to establish
its system west of the Mississippi Rlv'
er, in the United States, and over the
Pacific ocean to the Philippine Islands
After this is accomplished, the country
east of the Mississippi will be penetrat
ed and service installed, being the ti7s
overland commercial wireless service il
the United States.
Shops at Palo Alto.
The factory and laboratories of thu
Federal company are maintained a
Palo Alto, where instruments and ap
paratus are now ready for many add
tional stations.
At South San Francisco an immens
station is being built to coopesat
with the one at Ocean Beach.
A site has been secured at Salt LAX
for the largest station ever erected
with a radius of $50 miles, reaching al
the important Pacific Coast cities.
