The experiment enabled the government officials to communicate with Fort Totten, about fifteen miles away in one direction, and Fort Hancock, about twenty miles distant in another. The navy-yard wireless station called a halt on the tests as the inventor was about to try to reach Fort H. G. Wright, one hundred and twenty miles away, at New London, Conn. Doctor Reinhold said his apparatus could be connected wherever direct or alternating current is available. He said it could be used on an automobile and operated while the machine was at top speed by using current supplied from the automobile dynamo. The inventor claimed for his apparatus that in a recent test he sent a message three hundred miles. Echoes of War in London Want Ads. Want advertisements are always interesting because of the varied and intimate side lights which they give on what people are doing and thinking about.
