My experience is that a ship with a nominally
small apparatus can send a longer mesɛege than a similar apparatus on shore, because she has the engines of the ship to give increased power. In Fiji we had a 5 Kilowatt Larconi installation and there was a ship with only & 2 Kilowatt Telefunken installation but she could communicate with us 88 long as we could communicate with her, up to as much as 1,300 miles at night, simply because her engines were more powerful than our shore engine. I gatner that what you gentlemen think is required is a xxx station on shore with a range of 600 miles under favourable circumstances.
Dr. Snallard.
We want to communicate with vessels two days
out, not less than 600 miles.
His Excellence.
If you want to do that at all times you get into a Hedium Power Station straight away. Hlust it be in the day time? What about Bombay ?
Mr. Shallard.
Mr. Edkins.
They communicate mostly at night.
It seems to me that, if we can run to the
expense, the practical distance is half way between here and Singapore, say 700 miles.

Would it not be enough to we able to communi-
-cate such a cistance at night ?
Lr. Edkins.
Not if a ship was in distress.

Mr. ROBS.
The question is in the initial stage so far as
ships are concerned.

I understand the Canadian Pacific Railway Com-
That is so. I have had experience of it.

Is it possible to increase & Low Power Station
to a Medium Power Station. His Excellency.
Ross.
I think not.
You can have a Low Power Station attached to
a Medium Power Stadion.
