until a continuous spark was allowed
for q very long period that the naph-

"Thc tests, which were all the more
important as naphtha is one OF the

convinced the officials who carried
them out--the experimenting engi-

never be sufficiently dense inside the
wireless cabin TO permit OF ignition.
Outside the rigging this would be
even more obvious.
Notwithstanding these tests, the
Marconi company has, at the request
OF some shipowners, enclosed the
sparks, which are a necessary part
OF the transmitting apparatus, either
