RADIO CONVENTION
ENGINEER’S REPORT TO P.M.G. Press Association. WELLINGTON, Thursday. The broad effects of the more important of the decisions arrived at by the International Radio Conference, held at Washington recently, are outlined in the interim report submitted to the Postmaster-General by Mr. A. Gibbs, chief telegraph engineer, who represented New Zealand at the convention. An important suggestion for the extension of the New Zealand Government’s activities in the field radiosignalling, including the creation of a specially equipped service, is also incorporated, and it is hoped that the Scientific Industrial Research Department will be able to devote some time to the unsolved scientific problems of radio transmission, calling for treatment in the Southern Hemisphere.
The convention also agreed to a special provision under which deck officers on smaller vessels trading on the New Zealand coast will be permitted to act as wireless operators.
