i Perfect communication between
the Naval Experimental station
at Bellevue, D. c., and the Mac
MILAN Arctic Party at Etah.
Greenland, has proved the efficiency
/ Of the short wave length.
Every morning at o'clock the
Naval station here broadcasts time
signals to the Polar explorers and
follows these up with official mes
sages, all OF which are received
with an efficiency Of 100 per cent
by the northern travellers. Equal
perfection is established by the re.
turn communications which are re-
lceived at Chicago, because they
are clearer there than on the
Atlantic coast.
The use Of the short wave
length is no longer considered a
! problem by the Naval scientists;
/ 1t Is an actual fact. And great
things may be expected in the
future from this latest develop
ment Equipment for transmitting
short waves is less expensive and
much smaller than apparatus and
equipment for long wave transmit
ting. That is the reason for the
use OF the short wave length by
the Arctic party.
at won't be long now"
That is what G. Francis jenkins,
| washington inventor says about
| his radio vision machine, and the
prospects for its future practical
use. Radio vision as laboratory
! experiment is an accomplished fact
1 already and the inventor feels 1t
i will not be long before the APP
| paratus will be refined enough for
general use. And 1t should not be
expensive he says because It -
merely a simple little attachment
| which can be used with any stand
ard receiving set now on the mar
ket just as the loud-speaker is
used.
Mr.. Jenkins feels that ten years
is entirely too long an estimate OF
the time which will elapse before
his machine Is being used as gen
orally In the home, as the loud
speaker is today.
