U. S. FOREST SERVICE BOATS IN ALASKAN WATERS
The Wanigan, floating home of the men who patrol the Tongass National Forest, keeps in communication by radio with its motor boats. The latter serve as tenders, towing the houseboat from place to place along the shore line, bringing supplies and performing various duties necessary to the protection of the territory. The Tamm, shown at the left, is the headquarters boat, which has survived many storms and by the use of radio has helped to save
both life and property
White Star liner Majestic, the world's greatest steamship, radio messages were exchanged with shore stations of the Radio Corporation of America at speeds of more than eighty words a minute when the vessel was one thousand miles at sea. Ordinarily, speeds in excess of about twenty-five words a minute cannot be attained by hand sending, and in order to meet the demands of increasing radiogram traffic created by the large passenger liners, machine sending must be used, in which case a given message can be sent and received in one third the time required by manual methods.
"The earlier experiments aboard the Majestic permitted only one-way high-speed transmission, namely from ship to shore, there being
no apparatus on board the vessel capable of receiving high-speed transmission. In order to effect two-way high-speed telegraphic service on the vessel during the last voyage to New York it was equipped by the Marconi Company with a high-speed receiver which worked most satisfactorily. High-speed signals were also received from Paris at a distance of eight hundred miles at eighty words per minute. .Wireless press was completely and perfectly recorded by the automatic receiver through medium static. The principal benefits will be derived from the new apparatus when it is installed on all vessels of the larger type which handle great volumes of traffic."
