Scientific paper

MAY I suggest that the wireless telegraph offers a means of enabling Greenwich or other astronomical time being sent to ships at sea for the correction of their chronometers and the finding of their longitude? Distinct signals have already been transmitted from England to America, and these are all that is necessary for communicating time. At certain hours of the day or night, for example 1 p.m., a series of wireless signals, perhaps ten or twenty, at intervals of one second, might be sent from Greenwich far and wide as an extension of the time-ball signal which now serves for ships in the Thames and the Downs. By international regulation these time-signals could be protected from other wireless signals. I need scarcely add that such time-signals would also be useful inland.
