at once to build stations similar to
these in Honolulu and San Francisco
either on the Midway islands or the
Aleutian stands. No matter which
route is chosen, it would be an easy
jump to Japan. as the distance is
practically the same from either of
these points to Japan as from San
Francisco to Honolulu. Thus will the
Pacific be bridged. and in two relays
commercial messages will be sent
from California to Japan.
h station at the San Bruno plant
consists of two 440-foot towers, which
are the lofticst wireless supports in
the world. h two masts are triang-
ular In shape. measuring six feet on
a side. and are built Of wood. They
are six hundred feet apart and be-
tween them is suspended a total of

The Poulsen system makes its wire
less signals in a entirely diff
ferent from the Marconi method.
Briefly, the difference in transmission
is this: the Marconi system makes sig
nails by closing and breaking an cleo.
trio current.
Every dot n lash signal repre-
sents an Independent electric current
impulse transmitted through the air.
The Poulsen system makes signals by
varying. at the will of the sending
operator. the electrical wave length in
a continuous current.
The Marconi system opens the line

er hand, e the line once and keeps
it open by continuous electric impuls-
es while the signals are being trans
mitted.
A rapid mechanical method in
transmitting n receiving messages is
possible under the new system. A
message can he punched on a tape so
as to ~differentiate between the dots
and dashes. and then sent through a
mechanical sender at the rate of one
hundred and fifty to three hundred
and fifty words a minute. At the re-
ceiving station these impulses are re-
ccived by a vibrating gold wire of ex-
IRENE %fineness. The shadow of this
moving wire is thrown on a moving
Photographic tape. which furnishes a
record Tor the receiving operator.
Tuning" is the method used to
prevent other wireless stations from
interfering or receiving messages not
intended for them. To illustrate, a
pistol fired near a piano sets all the
strings in vibration. This compares
with the present wireless system.
where a message arouses all the sta
lions without range. A c tuning fork
struck near a piano Will bring forth a
response only from the C strings.
This may be compared with the Poul-
sen system n also illustrates the
possibility of having several transmits
sion stations within a close range
sending messages simultaneously with
out interference.
