WIRELESS PICTURES FOR .SHIPS AT SEA..

(Continued »froni "Pupe 3.),

Every new development in the science of wirelbas evolved by the Marconi research engineers is close ly observed by the management and technical advisers of the Marconi International Marine Communion- tion Company, who receive frequent progress reports and make inde. pendent examinations of the sub- ject from their specialised point of view with the object of ascertain. ing how each new discovery of prin eiple or practice can best be ap- plied to the beacfits of shipowners and the travelling public.

In accordance with this policy, the success of the Marconi research engineers in developing facsimile apparatus which gives satisfactory service between two fixed points has been made the subject of ox- tensive experiments. to determine in what measure this new device could be applied for marine pur poses, Similar experiments have been carried out by the Radio Marine Corporation of America, and in both cases a certain mea aure of success has been attained. It is clearly indiented, however, that further development is nzees- sary before the Wireless Companies would be justified in offering a routine commercial service to ship. owners for regular use at sea, Discussed by Comité International Radio-Maritime.

The application of the principle u facsimile transmission to marine purposes would be justified, prim. arily, as a service providing an 11 to 11.30 a.m.--Stock quotations. additional factor of safety, the 11.30 ..-Chinese programme. transmission of weather charts to 12.30 p.m.-Europesa programme." ships' commanders for their guid 1.20 p.m.-Weather report, ance in navigation being of con- siderable potential value from this point of view. As a secondary ser. vice, facsimile apparatus might be used for the transmission of ships' newspapers, and, if there should be 3 to 5.33 p.m. any demand, for public ship and shore picture services.

Having regard to its possible value for shipping the subject was one of those which camo ander die- cussion at the meeting of the Executive of the Comité Interna- tional Radio-Maritime in Brussels recently. The technical and com- mercial experts gathered there, ro- presenting some 40 countries, were satisfied that on the data so lar amassed, and submitted to them for consideration, it would be prema- ture at present to undertake the inauguration of a service of fucsi mile transmission to ships at sea.

Dificultles Still to be Surmounted. The diffentics which have yet to he surmounted in this application of facsimile transmission are both technical and coromercial.

The commercial consideration of cost is a decided obstacle at the present state of the system's deve lapment, and the results obtained do not at this stage appear to justify the cost involved.

As has already been stated, the primary object of such a service for ships is the contribution it will make to sufer navigation and quicker voyages, with reduced risks. It can do this by supplying the master of a ship with weather charls which will give him a visual indication of the weather conditions which lie ahead of him, and around him, so that he can see at a glance where bad areas of weather lie.

In order to justify itself such service would have to be perfectly reliable and sufficiently accurate technically to ensure good recep Lion. At the present stage of development installations to give reliable results such as would be required to inspire full confidoner. must be fairly elaborate, and from the commercial point of view, the probability is that such a weather chart service could not be conduct. ed at-a-charge of less than one guinea a day per ship to ship-

OWHOYA.

In addition, the time occupied in the transmission is considerable- amounting to about twenty minutes continuous transmission for a wea ther chart or an equivalent sized i document and while Jacsimile matter was being recoived on board ship the handling of ordi- nary traffic would probably have to be suspended.
