Automatic S o S Signal
Is New Radio Invention

Interesting progress has been
made in England In the way OF
developing an automatic device
Tor sending out s q : or distress
signals at sea. Instead OF using
the usual telegraph key aud send
ing out the $ . s call. the sys-
tenn Is to send out by means OF
an automatic device a dash of d
certain .cnGth Mt regular inter-
walls. Such signals serve to oper-
ate an alarm bell on other ships
within range. and the operator OF
the ship in distress can then send
specific Instructions. The impor-
tant advantage of the new system
is that It's signals do not conflict
with other radio signals. and that
1t rings an alarm he'll on ships In
the immediate vicinity Ten ships
are already equipped with the
new signaling device and twenty
nv" more are icing so equipped.
Satisfactory results have been
obtained over radius of 100
miles.
