NEW SYSTEM OF "WIRELESS."
Some time ago, Mr S Irwin Crooks, of Auckland (N.Z) wrote to Mr Wade (Premier of New South Wales) stating that he had been empowered to bring before him, a new system of wireless telegraphy. It had. Mr Crooks stated, been submitted to the War Office for testing, and that extensive trials of a most satisfactory character had been made. The system was a most economical one, and would enable the establishment of a wireless telegraphy station to operate within a radius of 300 to 400 miles, at a cost of £275, as compared with a cost, according to the Marconi system, of £2,000. Mr Wade forwarded a communication to the FederarPostmaster-General, who has decided to submit it to the Commonwealth representative in London, Captain Collins, who is to have the system investigated and reported upon by the-best wireless experts available.
