staff of the company, speaking into the
receiver of the apparatus at Arlington,
had been heard at the Pearl ElarbOr
naval station in Hawaii, 1900 miles
away
1.-THE experiment had been carefully
planned previously by cable. At an APP
pointed hour Mr.. Mills began to count
into the transmitter at Arlington.
His numbers and few simple words
which followed them were caught by
Lloyd Espenschied, another engineer
of the company, stationed at the re-
reivPr in Hawaii, and were returned,
with confirmation of the time when
they were received, by cable. The Ar
Ington station is the only one equipped
with a sending apparatus.
