- Editor's Notes
- Responds to TAE's of the 24th; advises that one would not get the same record over the long cable "at any rate of speed" as over the short Canso cable. Because specific inductive capacity is much larger, signals on long cable become more of a "slur" than a sharp beat. Gives word rate at which clerks using different instruments can record messages. Says signalling speed on Canso is double that on long cable. On long cable clerks tell letters by light deflection more than by beats.
