Rapid Telegraphy

No Limit to Stations That the day is near at hand when Empire newspapers will be published simultaneously in London, Cape Town, Sydney, Montreal, and Calcutta, was one of many amazing claims for the . new invention of high speed telegraphy made by Colonel Adrian Simpson at a dinner in Hyde Park Hotel. Colonel Simpson said, as everyone knows, that the stenote radiostat was invented by Dr. James Robinson, late chief wireless research officer in the Royal Air Force. Other claims are that it will enable an unlimited number of broadcasting stations -to operate. Between the wavelengths of 300 and 600 metres 5000 stations can be employed, whereas at present the limit is twenty-five. Ten thousand words per minute could be telegraphed at a great reduction in cost of telegraphy and telephony, and ten times the amount of traffic can be carried over the existing lines. The whole contents of a large daily newspaper, -letterpress and pictures, could be faith-fully-transmitted to any distance in au few minutes.
