RADIO COMMUNICATION WITH OVERSEAS
EFFICIENCY INCREASED BY MAGNETIC PREDICTIONS That in the last few years the hours of radio communication between New Zealand and outside countries have been greatly increased by the development of a system of atmospheric predictions, was revealed in the No. 1 Armed Forces Appeal Board yesterday, when an appeal for a physicist of the Christchurch Magnetic Observatory was being heard. The appellant was James William Beaglcy, who supplies to radio development, a section of the Scientific and Industrial Research Department stationed at Canterbury University College, certain information and predictions on magnetic conditions. From this and other data, forecasts can be made of the atmospheric conditions affecting' radio reception and transmission, and many more hours of communication with overseas stations have been made possible. This work has been of importance to the defence of the Dominion, and is part of the inter-communication system of the British Empire.
