However, because United Wireless
was being run mainly as a stock promotion scheme,
more often the magazine merely drummed up
enthusiasm for stock sales, by getting potential
investors excited about developments where the
company actually had no real plans. Much of the
speculation in this article about the future
possibilities for audio radio communication and
broadcasting appear to reflect the ideas of United
Wireless' former scientific director Lee DeForest,
who had been forced out of the company in late
1906. (The photograph of the navy officer actually
is from an installation by the Radio Telephone and
Telegraph Company, the new company which DeForest
formed after his expulsion.) In spite of the talk
about potential innovations, and the claim that
"The United Wireless Telegraph Company is
developing and protecting by patents, three
distinct wireless telephones", the company actually
did not do any significant developmental work in
wireless telephony before it went bankrupt in
1912.
By R. Burt / Copyright
1908 by The Aerogram Publishing Company)
When one realizes the
actuality of telephoning without wires, and the
mind turns to what it may mean in the future, about
all that it is possible to immediately express, is
a "gasp." It is almost beyond comprehension and the
thinking of it, at first, is a mental jumble, that
can only be brought to orderly understanding by
comparative figures, obtained from sources that can
be partially-appreciated by reason of daily
association.
Most people imagine they
know all about the telephone because they use it
frequently and because it appears to be so simple.
They have little to do with its actual operation,
therefore they do not appreciate the immensity of
the telephone systems, all of which have been
developed during the past 32 years. The following
figures will aid the imagination in an attempt to
estimate what the "wireless" 'phone will mean when
at some future time all telephoning is done without
the use of wires:
The field on land is not
nearly covered at present by the wire telephone
systems and without the advent of wireless
telephony it is reasonable to expect that the
business of the wire companies would double in the
next ten years. The wireless phone, by reason of
eliminating the enormous cost of maintaining the
poles and wires, should eventually not only usurp
the business of the wire 'phone on land, but
greatly extend its present utility and profits. The
wireless telephone will also cover the seas, lakes
and waterways, supplementing the wireless telegraph
over short distances and will be installed on all
the smaller craft. Inhabitants of islands in the
lakes and rivers and along the coasts will be
available as subscribers and have the advantage of
a telephone system, where they now have no adequate
means of rapid communication whatsoever.
The Bell Telephone has been
most profitable from an investor's standpoint,
inasmuch as those who obtained an interest in it,
during the early period of its development, and
retained their interest, have been made comfortably
wealthy by their small investment. A $100
investment made thirty years ago, has paid $201,000
in dividends. Bell Telephone stock advanced in
twelve months, after it had proven its commercial
value, from a few dollars a share to $3,200 per
share.
The question naturally
arises "How will it be possible for so many
wireless 'phones to be operated in a city like New
York?" It is impossible to say just now. If the
inventors of the wire telephone apparatus and its
pioneers could have known twenty-five years ago how
to accomplish, with the wire telephone, what is
being done in "wire telephony" to-day, do you for
one moment suppose they could have expended the
years of labor they have in overcoming the many
difficulties and obstacles, that they have had to
contend with? There really should be no more
difficulties to overcome, in extending the use of
the wireless 'phone, than there were in developing
the wire telephone. Also, it should be remembered,
that engineers working the wireless 'phone have
benefited considerably by the knowledge gained from
the experience and difficulties encountered and
surmounted by the engineers in the extension of the
wire telephones. The questions still unanswered in
one's mind are,--How is it done? How can it be
possible? Will not the hundreds of thousands of
messages sent out into the ether get "mixed,"
without the wires to guide or retain them along a
well-defined course? The mind does go agroping, and
it is not surprising. But, after grasping the
following figures regarding the ether waves, by
which a wireless message is transmitted and
received, it would seem, that with so great a
"flexibility" and with a more intimate knowledge of
the ether currents and their actions, some means
will be devised of overcoming the possibility of
"mixed" talk.
02
The Ether Net
Ether, which is
everywhere, vibrates normally at 650,000,000
vibrations per second; the action of some rays of
light increases the normal vibration up to
850,000,000 per second. These ether vibrations
transmit an electric charge from one particle to
another with such rapidity, that the wave travels
at the rate of 186,000 miles per second or a
distance equaling seven and one-half times the
distance around the world. Therefore, a wireless
message with sufficiently far-reaching force, would
envelop the world and also lap over halfway round
again in one-tenth of a second.
Every electrical discharge
from lightning exerts an electrical force
sufficiently powerful enough to send a wireless
wave throughout the entire world, and every
discharge of electricity in commercial use also
emits a "wireless wave." It is also probable that
all chemical action releases a minute wireless wave
and so on until, as a matter of fact, there are
already millions of wireless waves mingling and
intermingling in and over New York City at the
present time.
Yet, a wireless wave
message transmitted from a point a thousand miles
away, rushes into this maelstrom and "finds" the
station for which it is intended and records the
intelligence it brings. There are already more than
a hundred wireless stations, on shore and on boats,
transmitting messages, everyone of which at the
same time must pass the antenna wires of a wireless
station in New York. A visit to one of the four
"United" stations in New York City will show the
operator calmly taking down the message intended
for that station. He is operating and pays no
attention to the other messages coming down over
the same wire to his receiver, for he has tuning
devices and other mechanical instruments, which
disclose to him only the one message intended for
his particular station.
Isn't it wonderful? Just
think a minute! It is only necessary for the
wireless telegraph and the wireless telephone to be
developed and fully extended, to entirely dispense
with the unsightly and costly wires.
Let's look a little further
into the future, and see the time when the wireless
'phone will be in general use. It will be used in
business and private affairs just as the wire
'phone is in use to-day. In such use one
subscriber, to talk to another will have to call
"central" or will probably be connected by an
"automatic central." The wireless message sent from
one central station, in a special tone or to be
more exact having a special electrical
"resistance," may be received in every home, within
the range of station, by every subscriber having a
receiver corresponding to the electrical resistance
of the sending station. By this means it will be
possible to send news, stock quotations, lectures,
monologues, music, merchants bargain announcements,
etc., etc., broadcast for whomsoever may subscribe
for that service. The man of moderate means may
have Grand Opera music and the best of
entertainment always at his elbow for such members
of his family as may care to listen--or each member
of the family can choose the form of entertainment
which their fancy, at the time, may dictate. Will
not this be a Godsend as a means of making peace
with the neighbor who objects to the phonograph,
which will find its way to the scrap-heap with the
advent of the wireless telephone.

Editor's Note /
THE
GRAPH -- THE SCHEME OF THINGS
Yes! This is all a dream now,
but, if a reader could join Rip Van Winkle's
brigade and wake up twenty years hence, he would
probably find it a dream come true. We have much to
learn and there are still some people who scoff at
the future possibilities of all scientific
discoveries.
What has been done towards
developing and perfecting the wireless telephone?
For one thing, voices and music have been
transmitted distinctly for a distance of a hundred
miles or more. Some of the most prominent
Governments of the world already have some of their
battleships equipped with the device and report
fairly satisfactory service. The United States
Atlantic Fleet, now on its voyage around the world,
has the wireless 'phones installed for use in
connection with giving and receiving orders,
reports, etc., from the flagships to the other
vessels.
The United Wireless
Telegraph Company is developing and protecting by
patents, three distinct wireless telephones, in
order to protect its interests in the development
of wireless communication. They report progress to
the extent of transmitting voices and music for 30
miles over the land and 100 miles over the sea.
These 'phones are part of the assets of the United
Company and the strong organization of that company
will extend the telephone as well as the telegraph.
With its telegraph already established and
commercially successful, the day should not be far
distant when its 'phone will be brought into
commercial service and used as an adjunct to its
wireless telegraph equipment.
But remember! The wireless
telephone is in its early infancy and that there is
a considerable difference and lapse of time between
"having," a wireless telephone that merely
operates, and having an established wireless
telephone system that produces a net profit revenue
from actual commercial use.
The wireless telegraph has
gone through many vicissitudes, in order to gain
its present position. Many wireless telegraph
companies have been started and much wireless stock
has been sold to the public. Only one wireless
telegraph company has thus far succeeded. The
bright future and enormous possibilities of the
wireless 'phone may attract many promoters and many
investors. Many companies may be formed and the
printing presses be kept busy printing certificates
to be issued and representing hundreds of thousands
of shares of stock. All is not gold that glitters.
One should be most careful in making an investment
and should not risk money too carelessly, neither
should one allow enthusiasm to blind one's
judgment. The wireless telephone will win fortunes
for many, but may also prove a pitfall to some. Do
not invest recklessly; do not jump at the first
offering made by stocksellers; investigate; be
cautious.
