...whole image-pattern recorded by the photo-electric cell. The next problem was to transmit the seven fractional image-messages simultaneously upon high frequency ether waves. This Dr. Alexanderson had found still beyond the reach of practical radio, but calculated it could be achieved by the Hammond multiplex system (TIME, Oct. 26, 1925) using waves between 20 and 21 metres long. At the reception end, the multiplex message would be retransformed into seven beams of light which with proper synchronization, would reproduce the image-fractions. To throw these images together on a screen he had arranged 24 mirrors...
...Chicago, with its Catholic population of almost a millon and a half, his Grace, for he is Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago, has full opportunity for the workings of his multiplex genius. He assumed his archiepiscopal duties at the end of 1915, having come from the auxiliary bishopric ol Brooklyn, and immediately took leadership in the religious, political, patriotic, educational and civic life of the city...
...Multiplex System. Upon a 10-metre "carrier" wave, Mr. Hammond's multiplex sending instrument impresses modulations, much as a locksmith files teeth in a blank key. A set of eight modulations goes out with each compound signal of the set of eight messages. Physically, these modulations consist in alterations of the length of the carrier wave by fractions of a centimetre (down to 9.984 m., up to 10.016 m.). In the instrument that receives the multiplex or "scrambled" messages, one circuit is made sensitive to the carrier wave, other circuits to specific modulations thereon; much as the slot...
...financial side the modern university is a huge and multiplex corporation. Requiring sound business organization in a mass and flexible administration in every detail. Educational it confronts a well high insoluble problem, that of teaching modern scientific methods without neglecting the humanities, and of inculcating a liberality of mind that stops short of destructive radicalism. Conceivably, the graduate, in the intervals of carnival rejoicing, might accuse his Alma Mater of sacrificing teachers of might to a balanced budget, of accumulating laboratories while the classics decay, of grinding the face of liberalism beneath the heel of the business man's conservatism...
...sword belt, military buttons, some portable icons, and other objects of piety- a shapeless little mass of human grease!" The Monarchists, headed by the Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaievitch, however, declined to reveal the present resting place of the urns and all that could be obtained by diligent newsmen were multiplex corroborations of General Janin's tale. It has been rumored that the whole story of the ashes is pure propaganda for the Russian Monarchist cause, but this is not borne out by the facts of the case...
