TIME SIGNALS
WIRELESS TRANSMISSION. A PROVISIONAL ARRANGEMENT. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 17. The Minister of Internal Affairs advises that arrangements have been made , for a provisional wireless time service from the standard mean time clock at the Hector Observatory to be transmitted on Tuesday and Friday evenings provided that conditions arc suitable for obtaining the necessary observations. The signal will be transmitted for the W’ellington radio station on wave lengths of 600 metres and to ensure accuracy the signal key at the wireless station will be automatically worked by the Observatory clock. It is pointed out by the Minister that wireless messages from ships of the mercantile marine are sent out on a wave length of 600 metres, so that to ensure the success of the arrangements it will be necessary for all ships fitted with wireless apparatus to restrict their operations for the few minutes during which the time signals are being transmitted.
