Radio Telephone Installed

Through the use Of radio apparatus
demonstrated by the radio section OF
the Bureau Of Standards OF the De-
partment Of Commerce, the life boats
of the Coast Guard will be able in the
future to talk to land stations of the
Coast Guard even when out at sea
in heavy storms or fog.
During the recent annual meeting
of Coast Guard officials at Atlantic
City, one Of the thirty-siN foot motor
driven surf boats that are used fol-
rescue work was sent five miles OIL
shore and it was demonstrated that
men in the boat could easily converse
back and forth with the shore station
over the radio telephone which had
been installed in the boat for the &C.
casion by Bureau Of Standards en-
gineers. Not only could the men on
shore hear the speaker. over the tel e-
phone but also they could hear the
boats whistle and an airplane flying
over the boat. From the Coast Guard
boat house at Atlantic City. where
the land radio-telephone station had
been installed, the voice of the opera
tor on the surf boat five miles out at
sea was relayed over a regular wire
telephone to the Coast Guard station
mile away, by simply holding the
receiver of the radio telephone to the
wire telephone transmitter.
The novel feature Of this installa-
ton was the use of a special type of
coil antenna instead of the ordinary
elevated antenna. The type Of antenna
ordinarily used on a boat, consisting
of elevated wires attached to masts,
can not be used on surf boat be-
cause of the severe weather conditions
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1921-12-23

to which the boat is exposed, and also
because all space above the deck must
be kept clear for the throwing OF
lines.
The antenna used was a loop an
tenna, consisting of single wire run
along the guard on the side OF the
boat connected at each end to the iron
keel. The keel thus formed part of the
antenna. This is similar to the single
turn loop antenna that was developed
by members of the staff of the Blu
reau of Standards during the war for
use on our Navy's submarines. II is
expected that the radio apparatus On
the life-saving boats can be housed
in such way to continue to operate
even when the vessel is shipping Wa
ter badly in heavy seas. In prelimi-
nary experiments, before the radio
apparatus was installed on the motor
boat for the demonstration, it was
rugged on motor truck at the Ru-
reau Of Standards at Washington. As
the truck was driven over the coun-
try, the device was tested.
1t is expected that the radio tele-
phone installation OH the life boats
will save many hours of hardship foi
members Of the Coast Guard and will
aid in the saving of life rs we'll. Of
ten life boat will go out to Il ship
in distress and patrol the seas in
heavy weather all night in search of
crew and passengers who have taker
to boats, only to return to shore in
the morning to find that the ship
wrecked sailors had reached land in
safety shortly after the wreck. Con
slant communication between Coast
| Guard boat and station will eliminate
such waste work and danger. This
will also make it possible for the
shore station to direct j surf boat
which is searching for survivors.

Chdulmoogrd Oil and Lcprosy.

The United States Public Health
Service has felt it necessary to pre-
vent the too optimistic and extrava-
giant claims recently appearing in
the newspapers in regard to the cura-
tive effects Of chaulmoogra oil de-
rivatives on leprosy. While the use
of the oil and of it's derivatives has
resulted in considerable number Of
apparent cures, it is as yet too soon
to tell whether these will be per-
manent...
The ethyl esters Of chaulmoogra
oil, the use of which has largely sup
planted the oil itself, constitute a
