...Navy officials, visiting last fortnight at Gloucester, Mass., were treated to a demonstration remarkable even in this radio age. In the laboratory of John Hays Hammond Jr., they beheld that young wizard (aged 37) transmit eight radio messages simultaneously upon a single ether wave and receive them again, all separate and distinct, using single sending and receiving instruments at both ends of his operation...
...year ago (TIME, July 28,1924), Wizard Hammond made this demonstration before the Italian Government when he was winding up his deal with Premier Mussolini and the Marconi interests for a joint monopoly of Italian radio. Italy applauded but the inventor came home to perfect his work and offer it for purchase...
...Significance is manifold. The spectrum of radio-carrying ether vibrations is, like the light spectrum, definitely limited in extent. Commercial broadcasting in the U. S. has utilized all the higher wave lengths, which, to avoid interference between stations, must be spaced about eight metres apart. So loaded is the air that identical wavelengths have already had to be assigned to pairs of stations, the one remaining silent during the other's program. At U. S. Secretary of Commerce Hoover's radio conference, called for early next month, wave-congestion will be the principal problem discussed...
...short end of the radio spectrum, interference between the waves is avoidable through proportionately shorter spacing. Where only 12 stations could operate in a 100-metre range of the upper scale, many times that number can be accommodated by the first 100 metres of the lower scale. This fact, together with economy of power consumption and the proven superiority of short waves in penetrating belts of static, is what has led to exploration of the short-wave field. The Hammond system promises to multiply the multiple possibilities of this field, by 8 at least, probably by a higher number...
...happiest woman in Shemokin on Saturday night was Mrs. Forecast, mother of Joe Forecast '26, official football forecaster of the CRIMSON. As the last football returns drifted by radio into her sitting-room and told of her son's sensational comeback, she whispered through the tears of joy that ran down her cheeks, "I knew he'd do it. I knew...
