RECOGNITION TO BE (OREGON STATE NEWS
GIVEN CARRANZA
Bedford Hills, N. Y. — A compact
and efficient wireless receiving and
sending apparatus, invented recently
by Dr. H. Barringer Cox, of this place,
is to be lent to one o f the foreign pow­
ers for use in the trenches, according
to announcement o f the inventor.
The device, which may be strapped
around the waist and d eftly hidden by
the folds o f a cloak so as to be invis­
ible to an unsuspecting person, is in
reality a "vest-pocket” wireless ap­
paratus, as complete as any.
The sending apparatus consists of a
box in which are five dry cells and a
vibrator. The electric pulsations are
started by tapping a telegraph key,
and the current, which the doctor says
is modified with a hidden transformer
of his own invention, sends out its
messages in waves, long and short.
The equivalent to a half watt, or one-
eightieth as much as is required for
the ordinary electric light bulb is the
amount of electricity necessary. From
the box projects a wire.
In warfare use this wire is carried
down the leg o f the soldier and con­
nected with a metal plate or spur in
the shoe.
The receiving instrument
consists of a drum about which is a
coil o f wires. On top of this is a fine
deflector. It has a pair o f ear-pieces
such as is worn by telephone operators.
Dr. Cox can send and receive mes­
sages by this instrument over a dis­
tance o f 18 miles.
When he desires
to receive a message he raises his cane.
