BEAM WIRELESS
GREAT SUCCESS OF CANADIAN SYSTEM RAPIDITY AND ACCURACY OF SERVICE (Rec. November 21, 11.5 p.m.) Ottawa, November 20. It is stated at Montreal that the first month of beam wireless business with the public proved a continuous success. The traffic handled in four weeks has been more than double that dealt with previously by the company. The rapidity of the service and the accuracy of the messages have been outstanding features. There has been a constant twentv-four-hour sendee from 'Montreal to London, at a minimum of 100 words a minute, since automatic high speed machines were used for the transmission and reception of messages in code, working smoothly and practically with, out interruption.’ Errors have been reduced as a minimum. Further improvement, moreover, is expected. Although the transmission is already instantaneous, successful experiments have been made with a printer machine, which automatically decodes the messages sent and prints them readv for delivery to the addressee. Ninety per cent., of the total traffic from Montreal station has been handledn this way at a speed as high as 175 words a minute.
