START AUTOS BY WIRELESS
Waves Are Sent Out From station
Five Miles Distant to the Indiana
State Fair Grounds.

1t has been demonstrated that
an automobile can be started by
wireless. This was done at recent
Indiana state fair, where the engine
of an auto was started every So min
utes by wireless waves sent out from
station in Indianapolis, five miles
away.
An auto on exhibition at the fair
grounds was equipped with receiving
apparatus and necessary relays and
automatic switches for throwing on
and off the electric current of the
self-starter and magnetic. An auto
matte switch was provided to allow
the car to run for As seconds, after
which the magnetic was cut off,
bringing the car to stop, the opera
tion being repeated at 55-minute in
tervals.
No human hand had any part in
the operation of starting the car. A
time switch installed in connection
with the wireless transmitter in the
city controlled the entire operation
From the minute of the operation OF
the car for the first time, by pressing
a key at the transmitting station, un-
til the last day of the fair, a daily
record was kept which shows that the
starting and stopping of the car were
accomplished automatically.
