The transmiting and receiving aerials that were used were less than an inch long and the amaz.' ingly low power of half a watt-- just enough to light a flash-lamp bulb-was all that was required. Hitherto the shortest wave-length possible for commercial uses has been in the region of 15 metres or more, and the power required to produce such a wave would be some 5 kilównita.
This discovery, known as the micro-ray method, is the result of the co-operative work of the In- ternational Telephone and Teles graph Laboratories at Hendon and those of Le Materiel Telephonique' of Paris, and its essential princi. ple is a carefully guarded secret.

The author, who is associated with the firm of Messrs. Brown, Ltd., the loudspeaker manufactur- ers, gave an interesting account of bow that device came to be so named. In 1999 he had invented a single point telephone relay, which magnified the voice over long telephone lines, thus increns- ing the distanco of communication, Tais relay magnified the electric currents somo hundreds of timez, and thus rendered it possible to bring sound out into the room through a funnel attached to the telephone receiver,
doing away with an ordinary head-phone, This contrivance he named a”"loud speaker," and the name had now become common throughout the world.
