Perfects Radio Device.

According to leading Norwegian
newspaper, Engineer Hermod Peter
son has patented II device for the pro-
duction of electrical current for radio
telegraphy.
The electricity is received by an ac-
cumulator, which releases II mt certain
intervals. The system Is sparkless,
and the sounds are clearer than In the
older Inventions. says the Scientific
American. The clearness of sound de-
pends upon the regularity of the cur
rent. and with this system the current
Is released with mathematical ex-
actness.
The device has futher advantages
In that II is cheaper, simpler and more
durable than those now in use. If the
claims for this invention prove well
founded, 1t is thought that it will mari,
n distinct step in advance of what has
so far been accomplished in this line,
and hence its possibilities are creating
considerable interest In the radio
world.
