PUSHERMAN’S luck is proverbial, but imitation is the order of the day. The chief Radio Engineer of Philips Lamp (N.Z.), Ltd., has received very interesting details of how radio is assisting the Norwegian herring fishermen. During the season a seaplane fitted with a transmitter scouts in regions where shoals are likely to be observed, and upon locating the fish a message is sent in to the waiting trawlers. The plane then scouts further afield and upon sighting another shoal forwards another message to other waiting vessels, and so the business proceeds. The herring season only lasts two months, and many seasons have been unprofitable owing to the fish escaping unseen. This last circumstance is now impossible, but what I want is a radio that will make the little beggars bite.
