Radio Signal Makes 20 Round Trips
To Poland
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—Proving a
revolutionary atop In the scientific
and commercial development of radio
telegraphy, a radio signal today
made 20 round trips from the New
York office of the Radio Corporation
of America to Warsaw, Poland—
traveling at a speed of 4,000,000 miles
in 25 seconds—without the assistance
of an operator at either end. The
feat definitely demonstrated that
simultaneous acknowledgment can be
given long-distance radio telegraph
messages, declared Gen. J. G. llar
bord, president of the corporation.
A single loop connected the vast
space, while an epoch-making “dot"
raced through the ether with the
speed of light and faithfully record
ed on a tape each return trip from
Warsaw, negotiating on each round
trip 8,500 miles.
Traveling at a rate of 186,000
miles a second, the “dot" message
covered a mileage distance equal to
20 trips to the moon.
