ABSTRACT ON Thursday, April 27, the Kelvin lecture was delivered before the Institution of Electrical Engineers by Sir Frank Smith, who took as his subject, “The Travel of Wireless Waves”.

In the course of it, an interesting picture was presented of the position attained by modern research, both theoretical and experimental, on the mode of propagation of the electric waves

employed in radio communication. Particular reference was made to the bearing of the results of this work on the general problems encountered in geophysics, and the manner in which modern

research has provided the radio-geo-physicist with an invaluable tool with which to probe into the higher reaches of the atmosphere. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is
