WIRELESS TELEPHONES.
SPEECH ACROSS NORTH SEA. London, May 14. Mr. Lloyd George, ringing up Mr. W. M. Hughes, and the manager of the Australian test team in England consulting the Board of Cricket Control in Australia, are among the limitless possibilities opened up by the successful demonstration carried out by the correspondents of the Times at South wold (England) and Zandvoort (Holland), and arranged by Signor Marconi, by which the adaptability of ordinary telephones to wireless telephony was proved. The Southwold correspondent, using an ordinary instrument laid on to a wireless station, conversed for an hour with the correspondent at. Zandvoort, who was similarly connected to a wireless station. The voices were most clear, and the short waves used were not affected by the natural atmospheric disturbances.
The waves used were from 10 to metres. They do not expand, but go from point to point. They cannot be picked up at other stations unless by a direct line, thus assisting secrecy, and distance is no consideration.
Mr. Godfrey Isaacs, managing director of Marconi’s Wireless Telegraph Company, Limited, is confident that the system will shortly be put to practical public service, and will be invaluable for use in commerce.
