Marconi's Latest Experiments

Marchese Marconi intends to start within the next few days on a new cruise in his steam yacht Elettra for the purpose of carrying out further experiments in the transmission and reception of micro-waves-wire-less waves of less than one-metre length. In addition to repeating and checking his longdistance tests of last year, Marchese Marconi has planned a new series of investigations into the propagation properties of these waves. It is hoped that his investigations will lead to further important discoveries, opening the way to the wider application of micro-waves for wireless telephone and telegraph services. . Elaborate preparations for the new cruise have been made for months past at the Marconi works in Italy, on board the yacht Elettra, and at Marchese Marconi’s experimental micro-wave stations at Santa Margherita Ligure and Rocca di Papa, near Rome,
