Beam Installation for Spain

For Communication with Colonies ,. BRITSs material, design and work- : manship played a conspicugus part in the building of the important new group of wireless stations which were opened recently by the King of Spain of Aranjuez, near Madrid, in the pre-. sence of the Marchese Marconi, the Spanish Prime Minister, and Ambassadors representing other countries. This group of wireless stations has been designed and built to extend the range of Spanish external communications in consideration of Spain’s importance in the commercial life of the world and particularly of South America. Madrid is now placed for the figst time in direct wireless telegraph communication with both North and South America: and, by means © of a short-wave Beam _ installation which is included in the equipment of the Aranjuez station, a regular commercial telephone ‘service between — Spain and the Argentine Republie will be available in addition to hi gh-speed Beam telegraph services. For use in these circuits special reeeivers have been constructed by British engineers on behalf of Transradio ‘Bspanola, the Spanish company which owns these stations and which carries out the wireless telegraph services, between Spain and other countries. The supply of this apparatus to Transradio Dspanola is the second large order for British wireless equipment recently received from Spain. A previous contract provided for the instal- — lation on behalf of the Spanish Government of a short-wave station to establish a direct radio service between Madrid and the Spanish colony of Fernando Po, in Hquatorial Africa, Fe serenth ietiai-chmemeencaanqanpopemententtntnenennenanarmnseesienadionneshandaaninigas ain aniseanarsansan Seamer
