''These classes are between ships at

plane to plane, and between points on

Counting
The Cost

"The initial cost of station on Long
Island, for instance, and at some feast
bic point in England, would be less than
that Of laying the Atlantic cable, but
that of upkeep and operation would be
far greater; the wireless telephone could
not be depended upon, as business men
must depend on their means of COM
munication, and it could not handle the
volume of business which would be Of
fered or anything approaching it.
"No, what mean by regions to which
a wire circuit is impossible or impracti-
cable is illustrated by the Canadian
governments plan to provide telephone
communication with the Peace River
Valley by radio. A local wire line in
that isolated section can be built and
are sent over the intervening wastes by
wireless.
For radio telephony, as, indeed, for
all forms of radio communication outside
the realm of war, there seems to be lit
tie doubt that the developments of
the future will be in the direction of ap-
paratus and methods to extend and sup
plement existing wire service. There is
no present indication of any radio devel-
opments which will supplant or even
curtail the use of wires for either tee-
phone or telegraph operation"
AS he said this DR.. Jewett directed my
attention out one of the great windows
which give on the river and the
Jersey hills beyond. Out there in the air,
making their steady progress through
their element up river, and looking like
nothing so much as two huge wild ducks,
were couple of seaplanes, flying boats,
possibly tuning up for the transatlantic
flight. The thought of actually talking
with those aviators from that room, as
we could have done had their coming
been known long enough ahead to make
the arrangements, gave me something
of the uneanny sensation that long dis
tance telephone connection always does.
"You ought to read what Mr. Crafts
has written about how the aircraft pro-
duction boards and the joint army and
navy technical boards were introduced
to radio telephone communication with
airplanes at Dayton" said Dr. Jewett, as
he got Mr.. Crafts article for me. It was
worth reading. Here IS part of it:

No, the wireless telephone will hard

at least, until there are changes SO rad

radio communication as we know it to-

body having his own small radio tele-

A Product of
Recent Years

NC(CHI ears
"While the idea Of radio telephony as
means of communication is practically
as old as the art of radio communication.
it is only within the last few years that
any substantial progress has been made.
The early developments in radio COM
munication involved electrical systems
which we're inherently unsatisfactory
for any kind of radio telephony and no
progress at all could be made until the
art had developed to such a point that
satisfactory continuous wave methods of
transmission were available Following
this fundamental development, it was
further necessary to devise the mechan-
ism required at the transmitting sta
tions to permit of voice control of the
energy transmitted through the ether in
the form of continuous wave train and
the further mechanism required at the
ICCGlVl1lE SCdtlOu CO OcCcCC anu IGpIO-
duce as Ineligible speech in an ordinary
telephone receiver the energy received
from the distant transmitting station.
"Since all radio systems for use over
any considerable distance involve an
amount of energy at the transmitting
station many hundred or thousand times
greater than the energy normally en-
ployed in ordinary wire telephony and
since, on the other hand, the amount of
energy available at the receiving station
is but small fraction of that required
for the proper operation of telephone
receiver under conditions of commercial
operation, the problems up for solution
were extremely difficult, even after the
fundamental requirements were quite
clearly formulated.
"In the seven or eight years imme-
diately prior to 1914 numerous expert
ments in radio telephony were made,
largely by American inventors and en-
gineers, and results of considerable
promise were obtained. None of these
experiments, which were principally con-
fined to relatively short distances, re-
suited, however, in the production of a
commercial radio telephone system. In
1914 and 1915, following the work which
resulted in sthe establishment of trans
continental wire telephony between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts, the engineers
of the Bell system produced the appa-
ratus which in the summer and fall of
1915. resulted in those demonstrations of
long distance radio telephony which were
given such prominence in the public press
at the time.
AS will be remembered, these demon
strations, which were made with the CO.
operation of the United States Navy. re-
suited in the establishment of successful
radio telephone communication from the
navy towers at Arlington, Va, with the
naval stations at Panama, Mare Island,
IN San Francisco Bay; San Diego
and Honolulu, and in the early fall of
1915, through the courtesy of the French
government, to the military station in
the Eiffel Tower at Paris AS a part
of these experiments, all of the mechan-
ism and methods required to intercon-
meet wire and wireless telephone links in
a continuous communication train were
worked out and demonstrated.
