Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Cylinder

MARCONI, the promoter of the wireless telegraph system, has abandoned the tall tower, with its upright wire, and relies only upon a cylinder four feet high standing on the instrument table. The messages radiated from this cylinder have been read over a distance of sixty miles. With the exception of the cylinder, the system is operated substantially the same as with the tower.
