OCEAN TELEPHONY
NEW WIRELESS SERVICE INAUGURATED
LINER MAJESTIC’S EQUIPMENT
Reed. 10 a m. LONDON, Sunday. Ringing up the White Star Company’s London office “with as little trouble as transmitting touring instructions to a ship’s engine room,” Commander Baughan, the liner Majestic's assistant commander, in mid-At-lantic bound for America, inaugurated the first public ocean telephony service between the liner and Great Britain.
This is at present restricted to calls originating on the liner, but the Post-master-General hopes to extend it during the next voyage to calls originating from the shore. The service will be available to all ships on the North Atlantic route fitted with the necessary type of wireless telephone apparatus.
