MARCONI'S CLAIMS
(Received 21st October, 1 p.m.^ LONDON, 20th October. Mr. Marconi, addressing American and Empire pressmen, said that the operation of beam wireless to Australia •would not be long delayed. It would bo direct transmission without intermediate stations, with an additional supplementary route from Canada. The Post Office will guarantee seven hours' daily service, which will bo greatly exceeded. A 26-metre wave length will bo used alternatively with a shorter length in event of unusual atmospherics. Mr.' Marconi claimed that with the beam system atmospherics virtually ceased to exist as a hindrance to highspeed communication. Undoubtedly the system was unlimited in its scope for telegraphy, and was also applicable fo telephony and photography. "I can visualise a future Imperial Conference," he said, "delegates representing the different countries without leaving their firesides." Tests with Australia will commence in six weeks. It will be impossible to pick up messages intermediately owing to the high speed.
