RADIO STATIC
WILL BE OVERCOME BY THE MIRACLE . TUBE. London, Saturday Mr. R. Watson Watt, superintendent of the radio research station, demonstrated at the Imperial Institute a "miracle tube," designed to veliminate atmospherics for wireless receivers and flickering > from television pictures. Mr. Watt denounced atmospherics as a radio criminal. "We will discover his features, draw his portrait, and circulate it as Scotland Yard does those of criminals, in order to capture him and end the mischief," he said. The tube will also register storms and lightning flashes within a radius of 3000 miles within thirty seconds, thus permitting accurate weather forecasting and safer long-distance flying. It will also increase the certainty of locating ships in distress and the tracing- of disturbing wireless stations and enemy positions in wartime; while it will record a speed of 100,000,000 miles an hour and 25,000,000 oscillations a second. The apparatus will cost only £7/10.
