ULTRA SHORT WE PHONE READY MARCONI SAYS
It is the opinion of Guglielmo Marconi that an ultra¬ short-wave telephone service between the different countries of the world is likely within the next few months.
The first ultra-short-wave wireless telephone, invented by Senator Marconi, now is operating experimentally between Vatican City and the papal Summer home at Castel G-andolfo. Senator Marconi has no doubt about the practical application of the system. The present apparatus is small, reasonably simple and cheap in comparison with long-wave commercial sys¬ tems. The power consumption is only thirty watts, the equi¬ valent of a small electric light.
According to the inventor, the cheapness of the ultrashort-wave method offers great possibilities. In Italy, for instance, it would mean that nea.rly every island along the coast could have inexpensive telephone communication with the mainland and the rest of the world.
There is no atmospheric interference on these ultra-shortwaves. Senator Marconi regards the system as particularly well adapted for airplanes and for military purposes.
Senator Marconi is now in London where he will address a meeting of scientists. He is expected to reveal some of the secrets of his revolutionary method of transmission.
