PHOTOS BY WIRELESS.

TEANSMITTED FROM SYDNEY TO LONDON. The remarkable progress that is being made in the experimental transmission of photographs of Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, Prime Minister of England, and Mr. E. T. Fisk, managing /director of Amaaganiated WireQems (A'sia) Ltd., from Sydney to London by wireless, utilising the Fultograph system of picture transmission. The transmission was effected by short wave wireless through A.W.A. Experimental Station 2ME.

The re-production of these photos in London was considered satisfactory, according to advices received by Amalgamated "Wirless. The transmission was the first of its kind in Australia and the greatest difltanco over which pictures have bee* transmitted by wireless. The first demonstration of the Fultograph system of transmitting pictures by wireless was given by A.W.A. in Melbourne in June last. At that time the operation of transmitting and receiving the pictures was demonstrated in the one building, though between the transmitting apparatus and-the room in which the receiving equipment was installed, the electric current passed through an artificial line, so i» effect, although the transmitter was located iu Melbourne, the roceiver might have been situated in a town 200 miles beyond Sydney. On that occasion, the reproduction of the many pictures transmitted over a distance, in effect, greater than the distance between Sydney and Melbourne, was excellent. The same type of Fultograph transmitting apparatus was used in the Sydney-London photo transmission.
