It is estimated that approximately 600,000 persons in and about .New York listened by wireless telephone to the wedding service ot Princess Mary and Viscount Lascelles. Those who failed to catch, the promises to love, honour and obey heard the strains of the wedding march filling Westminster Abbey. The large Marconi station in Wales distributed the sounds. Special apparatus, consisting of amplifying anad tuning devices, was designed on the American side of the Atlantic for receiving the waves and transforming them for the average receiving set. The 16,000-meter wave length which the Marconi station used was entirely outside the ability of any but the" very largest and best-equipped stations.
