ship and shore had been thoroughly
demonstrated.
Installations on many ships followed,
but the real significance Of the invention
to the maritime world was not appreci-
ated until it played for the first time a
dramatic role in marine disaster. That
was in 1909, when the steamship Republic
of the White Star Line met in collision an
Italian ship, the Florida, off the banks
near Nantucket Island. The crash came
in the middle Of a dark night. 1t was
then that radio came into its own. When
a young wireless operator named Jack
Binns pressed his key and through the
agency of radio called for the succor and
relief of 1,5OO human beings on a sinking
ship his signal sent thrill around the
world.
The next dramatic part played by radio
telegraphy came with the sinking of the
steamship Titanic ten years ago. 1t so
happened that l was then a wireless OPP
orator assigned to the Wanamaker sta
tion in New York. On the roof of the
building a large plant had been installed
for the purpose of sending messages be-
tween Philadelphia and New York, and
also between other points.
1t will be recalled that for long time
it was impossible to get definite informa-
tion of what had happened on the i'll
fated Titanic. In those days we had no
cloud speakers" or any of the refinement
of apparatus of the present day. Radio
operators were required to wear head
pieces with telephones clamped over the
ears, in which the faint buzz of the dots
and dashes were heard For three days
and three nights, on continuous sketch
of seventy-two hours, sat with the head
piece clamped on my head, straining to
hear a word or a detail that might come
through the air.

sympathetic and powerful. vibration; that
it will of itself respond and give out
music or a single note of music. In
music this effect is known as syntony, or
resonance. We call it the same thing in
radio. The receiving apparatus is cleo
trically tuned to the sending apparatus
and vice versa, and a condition of reso-
nance is set up between the two circuits.
Only then do we get a response.
The electromagnetic waves of radio
travel outward from the transmitter in
all directions. To use another simple
analogy: When a stone is thrown into
the water an ever widening series Of
ripples radiate outward; those waves die
out gradually and the length Of them and
their character depend upon the size Of
the stone and the force with which it
was thrown. Just SO with radio. A
stream Of electromagnetic waves Is sent
out and its character and its length are
regulated by the kind Of apparatus used.
Travelling in all directions radio can do

means of communication; it passes
through everything; the message it car
ries practically cannot be stopped.
Quite naturally radio was first en-
ployed in ship to shore traffic, for prior
to that time there was no way of COM
municating with a moving vessel. Mar
conf had taken his invention to England,
where he had been greatly encouraged
by the British Post Office; there had been
placed at his disposal every available
facility and number Of tests were made
which proved that wireless could travel,
first, mile, then five miles, then fifty
miles and so on. Then q ship was
equipped with wireless apparatus and
sent out to sea.
The first American vessel to carry radio
was the steamship Philadelphia of the
American Line, ship still in existence.
The installation comprised the induction
coil and the coherer receiving apparatus.
Marconi himself made a trip for expert
mentation, and communication was estab-
lished with a coastal station erected on
shore in England, the ship maintaining
contact with the shore, first over a very
short distance and then over increasingly
larger distances, until the practicability

another wire from the other side went to
the ground. through various coils or other
apparatus. When the electric wave
emitted from the sending station I'M
Hinged on the receiving aerial an electric
current passed through the little coherer
tube and acted upon these metallic filings.
Electrically speaking, it changed their
resistance. In ordinary language this
means simply that the character Of the
filings changed, and every time that
change took place something happened;
either the telegraph relay closed, or a
noise was made in the receiving tele-
phones, or an ink recorder operated. That
is, the feeble action on the tiny metallic
filings was used to do a specific job-to
make ineligible by sound or by mark
the dots and dashes of the telegraph code.
This was the original radio system,
transmitting instrument which shot out
dots and dashes by breaking up at inter-
walls of short, and long duration the
electromagnetic waves sent out into the
ether. These electrical impulses travel
ing through the air found their way to
any aerial wire suspended in the air:
they would then go through the little
coherer device and be made Ineligible
either by sound or by record on paper.
The next problem presenting itself was
to arrange matters so that II more than
one emission OF electromagnetic waves
was carrying dots and dashes through the
air the receiving apparatus would not get
the conflicting and simultaneous messages
in the form of tumble of signals; in
other words, there arose the problem OF
interference The answer to that was
tuning. Implied by that single word are
many of the familiar terms appearing In
the daily press, such as wave lengths,
tuning apparatus and tuning coils, vario-
meters, condensers and many other pieces
Of electrical apparatus that resolve them
selves into associated devices to ac-
complish the end. Yet the prin-
ciple OF tuning is simple. Consider
by way Of analogy the effect OF
resonance In music. 1t is common knowl-
edge, for example, that using a violin,
when one string is tuned to a certain
pitch and played upon, another string
attuned to the same pitch will be set into

It on paper and hoping that the next
word would spell the name of loved one.
For some little time thereafter the de-
velopment of radio followed the activities
of the sea; installations aboard ship
multiplied and the coastal station sys-
TEN expanded. Message traffic from ship
to shore was the principal function of a
radio telegraph company, and the manu-
facture, operation and maintenance Of
apparatus to give this service was prac-
tically its sole activity. A system of
handling messages was developed, follow
ing the general practice of telegraphy,
procedure which remains virtually un-
changed to this day.
An outline of the process may be of
interest, for the question is often asked,
"Just how is a message filed for transmits
sion to or from ship at sea?"
1t is not a complicated process.
The sender files the message for

ing the name Of the passenger and the
ship and marking the radiogram Via
PCA" il he desires the Radio Corporation
OF America to handle his message. The
handling of the message then is as fol-
lows: 1t is telegraphed by land line to
the nearest coastal radio station, which
in turn calls the ship through the air,
using the call letters which the Govern
ment assigns to each vessel as an identi-
fication. Operators on ships are required
to listen for these messages. They
acknowledge the call for their particular
vessel and accept the message trans
mitted from the shore. IL an answer is
required the ship calls by radio the three
letter designation of the costtal station
wanted, transmits the reply, which in
turn is put on the telegraph wires di-
rected to the person addressed, anywhere
in the United States or, for that matter,
in any part of the world.
There are two main points in this proc
ess which appear confusing to the lay
mind. The first is how does the ship
operator know when he is to be called?
The answer is that he does not; he
listens; maintains a watch" during
which time it is his duty to be on the
alert for signals intended for his ship;
hearing his call he answers, and the mes
sage is then forwarded. The second ques-
tion is How is interference, confusion Of
messages, avoided when several stations
are working at the same. time? This is
a matter of tuning and wave lengths;

America.

LII world progress rests upon inter-
"A change Of intelligence. With the
growth and spread of radio, even
into isolated communities, humanitarian,
educational and social possibilities come
into view hitherto envisioned through no
other agency. But to approximate the
future Of radio we must understand the
record of its past.
Radio on the ocean forced its way into
popular imagination when the first call
of distress was flashed by wirelsss oper-
ator from sinking ship.
Radio as a means of international COM
munication already has proved itself not
only by service rendered to the general
public, but by the service it has rendered
to government, to industry and to trade.
And now radio in the home is bringing
entertainment and instruction to millions
of people who are just beginning to
glimpse the possibilities of the new art.
But the greater radio, the radio Of the
future, with its manifold ramifcations in
the transmission of intelligence-thi is
yet faint upon the horizon.
The origin of radio lies in the expert
ments of Hertz, a German scientist. At
the time of his discovery he was using
among various laboratory devices an
apparatus known as an induction COLL
an electrical device which causes a spark.
Its operation begins at low voltage, or
electrical pressure, which it then steps up
to so high a point that the electric dis
charge or spark flashes across between
the spark points. Hertz found in expert
menting with the spark coil that he had
set into electrical vibration metallic
bodies and various electrical devices.
knowing that there was no connection
between these and his sending apparatus
he realized that he faced a new phenom-
enon, and by careful analysis of the effect
of the current he came to this conclusion:
That "ether," which pervades everything,
is capable of carrying electric waves Cor,
as later ueUueu, electromagnetic waves
and that these waves travel outward
through the air in all directions.
This discovery was widely published.
It meant nothing at that moment, how
ever, to the general public or the lay
mind--just as the Einstein theory, for
example, means very little to us to-day.
Yet It registered with a deep understand.
ing on the mind of an eighteen-year-old
youth then studying in Italy, Guglielmo
Marconi He reasoned that IL it were
true that the ether carried these electro.
magnetic waves, II by this medium elec-
trio energy could be carried, it would be
desirable to break UP these waves into
a series of dots and dashes corresponding
TO tho Morse alphabet used in ordinary
telegraphy. Having done that, the ether
could be employed to do the work hitherto
done by wire telegraphy.
With this definite objective he began
his task He experimental extensively
and found that in order to send out the
electric waves efficiently 1t was necessary
to connect up an insulated wire sus-
pending in the air with one side Of the
induction coil-and in this simple form
came into being the first type of wireless
sending apparatus ever used in the world.
A definite return path was desirable for
the electrical circuit, so he used the

called). The wires one

Having found the means
of sending electromag

was how to receive them.
