WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

No. 25. The International Telegraph Construction Company, New York, to the Secretary, General Post Office (New Zealand), at New York. International Telegraph Construction Company (Shoemaker Wireless System), Sir,— New York, 6th July, 1906. We enclose copies of various official letters [not printed] relative to the working of our system. We would call your attention to the fact that the U. S. S. " Maryland" is installed with a 2 k.w. apparatus, which, of course, is a very small capacity. The work on board the " Brooklyn " is interesting, as a comparative test was made at this time, and five other systems besides our own were operated from the " Brooklyn." The capacity of the St. Augustine station is also 2 k.w. This is one of two land-stations we have installed for the Government on the Atlantic coast, and we have established another at Point Arguello, on the Pacific Coast. We will write you more at length in a day or two, taking up the question of specifications. Yours, &c, International Telegraph Construction Company. The Secretary, Post and Telegraph Department (New Zealand), Hotel Waldorf Astoria. Approximate Cost of Paper.— Preparation, not given; printing (1,550 copies), £8 4s. 6<3.

Authority: John Maokay, Government Printer, Wellington.—l9o6.
