WIRELESS FIRES A FOG GUN
Current Opens and Shuts Gas Tank
Valve
(c) Underwood & Underwood.

A system of wireless control that is
now being applied successfully at sew
eral points in Scotland seems to have
solved the problem of distant control
Of acetylene fog guns located at points
difficult of access, and provides a
means by which a number of such in
stallations may be operated from one
wireless station without the necessity
for visiting the different signals, eX-
cept for making repairs and replenish-
ing the supply of gas. The gun auto
matically feeds and fires itself at regu-
lar intervals until stopped or until the
supply of acetylene runs out, and the
wireless control simply provides a
means of starting it when there is 8
fog and stopping it when the fog clears
without going near the signal. Fur
thermore the wireless apparatus is sc
arranged and turned that it is not in
terfered with by the more powerful
waves that may be sent out by passing
ships or by other wireless stations
