ny DIR, HENRY SMITH WILLIAMS.

DN DIX. hENfN SH1l II " iLtaAhS.
The time-worn theory that "neces
sity is the mother of invention is
proving its truth with the most mod
ern Of scientific arts, namely, radio.
Just as il did back in the days of the
cave man.
Had it not been for the fact that
during the war, the Army was unable
to procure sufficient braided material
for insulating wire, we probably
would not yet know wired wire
less
During September. 1918. all the
braiding machines in the United
States could produce only sufficient
braided covering for eight hundred
miles of twisted pair insulated wire
per month, and the American Army
alone needed forty thousand miles per
month. Confronted with this situa-
ton. Gen. Squire, head of the Signal
Corps. realized the deSirability of
finding substitute for braided cotton
thread, and set about to find 1t.
He started series of experiments
with electrOn tubes and soon promlS-
ed the government that he would give
them an unlimited quantity of cleo
trnma gnetic waves, to take the place
of the much needed insulated wire.
And he made that promise good.
Wire Under Potomac.
Briefly stated, what the general did
was to run bare wire of phoSphor
bronze number Is, such as is used
for Signal Corps field antennae)
across the Washington channel of
the Potomac river from the Army War
College to the opposite shore in Po-
tomac Park. letting it sink to the
bottom and lie there absolutely un-
protected Not only was the wire not
insulated, but pains had been taken
to clean it entirely and free it from
any grease or other material that
could in the least protect it.
4 standard Signal Corps radia tele-
phone and telegraph set was directly
One set served as transmitter and
the other as receiver. At the re-
ceiving end the bare wire was
directly connected to the grid ter
minal of an electron tube in the re-
ceiving set. and the usual ground
connection was left open. Tuning the
wire to a frequency Of about six
hundred thousand cycles second
excellent telegraphy and telephony
Were attained.
How can the electr gnetic waves
follow wire and thus be led to g
definite goal instead of radiating ou,
into space, you ask? A natural queS-
tion, but one which can be answered
only Professionally, for here we have

to do with extremely puzzling
phenomenon.
The Electric Field.
Of course, it is not to be supposed
that the electromagnetic waves travel
in or even on the wire. 1t was not
the wire itself. in all probability. that
chained the electromagnetic waves
in Gen. Squier's experiment, but the
electric field about the wire. An
electric field, according to accredited
theory is merely the condition that
exists in the ether surrounding an
clectron or group of electrons.
When the electrons are in transit
tional motion their transit is mani
Tested in what we term a current
of electricity, and the motion of the
electric field about them establishes
a condition that we term magnetiZeS
The moving electric field is parent
to the electromagnetic wave, so per-
haps it is not strange that an electro
magnetic wave in being should have
affinity for the electric field surround
ing a copper wire that chances to
lead out from the source of it's
origin.
| After the general succeeded in send
ing messages along the bare wire
under the river some one suggested
, that it might be due to the portions
| OF wire out of water at either termi-
nal, acting as antennae- So these
/ terminal wires were cut off, leaving
| only the short aerial portion at send
| ing and receiving stations and a few
| feet under water. But messages were
| no longer transmitted and this mega
! tive result was very properly inter-
preted as demonstrating that the
| messages previously sent and re-
! ceived had in reality been directed
| along the wire. But the general was
! not convinced as to this theory. and
| ordered a SiXteen-inch bare wire laid
| in plowed furrow and a second
| furrow was plowed alongside. COM
/ pletely covering 1t. The soil was
/. moist, and located only few feet
| above tide water. Result: The buried
! wire covered the electromagnetic
| current as before, and satisfactory
| communication was established for
| the distance of about mile.
| Wired Wireless Established.
| Innumerable tests followed, which
resulted in the proof that signals
! could be detected best in close prox-
! unity to the wire itself in all its
| parts, proving that the electromag-
netic waves turned the corners in
order to follow the wire.
The successful outcome of all these
tests established the principle OF
! beyond controversy! Gen. Squier
had made good his promise to the
| government.
All of which only goes to prove
that truly necessity is the mother
of invention"
