There is a similar one in the shed from which you just talked with me." "But why does radio telephony require a stronger current than wireless telegraphy?" Tom wanted to know. "Because, up to the present, no way has been found of utilizing in radio telephony the entire energy of the electric waves sent out," replied Professor Chadwick.
He was now rich and retired, free to enjoy his play-work of the farm and to forget the troubles of the city and the telephone. But, as he stood among his barn-builders, there arrived from Boston and New York a delegation of telephone directors. Most of them belonged to the "Old Guard" of telephony.
In the case of wireless telephony there is still more complex process of transformation, as follows: the speaker conveys sound vibrations into the instrument; these are transformed into electric vibrations; and the latter into the etheric vibrations which travel through space to the receiver.
So, when he became an operator in the Boston telephone exchange, a year later, he had already developed to a remarkable degree his natural genius for telephony. Since then, Carty and the telephone business have grown up together, he always a little distance in advance. No other man has touched the apparatus of telephony at so many points.
"I've been wondering whether it would be possible to use wireless telephony in Alaska. But I'm such a dub at electricity.

Jack explained how ardently his father had wished for the missing element to make his system of radio telephony the most efficient in use. "Well, if what Sanchez said was true, and the map is right, there is plenty of it right on that island," said the miner. "Yes, that may all be," objected the professor, "but how are you going to get at it?" "Wa'al that's a poser.
In their stock exchange stand six hundred and forty one booths, each one the terminus of a private wire. A firm of brokers will count it an ordinary year's talking to send fifty thousand messages; and there is one firm which last year sent twice as many. Of all brokers, the one who finally accomplished most by telephony was unquestionably E. H. Harriman.
It is too amazing to be true, and possibly a new generation will have to arrive before it will be taken for granted and acted upon freely. Ultimately, there can be no doubt that long-distance telephony will be regarded as a national asset of the highest value, for the reason that it can prevent so much of the enormous economic waste of travel.
