RADIO DOING BETTER JOB THAN fMN, EXPERT STATES
The development and use of radio waves that resemble light waves in some respects, and which can be formed into beams and made to do things that cannot be done with light, will be a part of the contributions to be made by the science of electronics toward better living when the war is over.
This was explained by William C. White, head of General Electric's electronic laboratory. As broadcasting was electronics' contribution to better living after the last war, an equal contribu¬ tion will be made by this science after the present conflict, the expert said.
The present war has enormously increased the scope and extent to which electronic devices are being used, Mr, White explain¬ ed, because these devices not only save manpower but also can do many jobs better than man. The science of electronics was pictured by the engineer as extending the range and accuracy of the human senses.
As one of numerous applications of the new radio waves,
Mr. White stated how they can penetrate clouds, smoke, fog, and storm and thus become a great aid in the navigation of ocean liners and aircraft.
"Navigation of ocean liners is in many ways based on vis¬ ion, which in turn is based on the use of light and sight", he point¬ ed out. "The steering of a proper course is largely a matter of noting position of shoreline, lighthouses and buoys. Avoldence of
