interesting problem of electro mach

Professor Thompson has been KIND
enough to assert that l won't deny
the possibility.
The great difficulty with wireless
communication has been that the
electric waves weaken SO that IL Is
impossible to send messages many
thousands of miles.
II have invented a device by which
the electric current is put in Undue
tive relation with q rotating armature
of a motor. When a signal is re-
ceived it acts at once on the rotating
armature, and the rotating feature
serves to increase vastly the strength
of the current and the magnetic
mower. thereby assuring greatly eX-
tended communication.
Suppresses Confusing Signals.
The rotator serves another pur-
pose almost as important. 1t sup
presses confusing signals Take. for
instance, a ship in the English Chan
mel. waterway where there is much
interference in wireless communica-
ton brought about by the great num-
Der of ships and land stations using
wireless systems. BY the use of my
invention a ship in the channel could
receive uninterruptedly and clearly
and send with the same absence of
confusion although one hundred ships
and stations were signalling at the
same time. Ny invention Is an entire
ly new form Of transmitting and re-
ceiving circuit.
My inductor can be applied TO any
form of electric communication, and
believe that il will be as useful with
wire communication as with wireless
signalling"
Dr. Pupn said tonight that he hadn't
decided how his invention would be
put upon the market, and that he had
hardly had time as yet in which to
receive offers from corporations.
