Every branch of every service employs radio in some form or another. Its most spectacular and still most secret use is in radio location, which reveals distant aircraft by their effect on a highly delicate radio transmission. It was radio -location almost as much as the bravery of RAF pilots, which won the Battle of Britain. 'Yet it was Britain which turned down Morse's application for master patents after he had initially failed to get financial support from Cong- ress in Washington. In 1842 Morse made his invention work, and in 1844—on May 24—inaugurated the first commercial service, between Baltimore and Washington. British inventors such as Fleming played their vital part in developing radio. Although war restricts many of the normal uses of radio, it has con- siderabbly developed others, and the uses of electric signalling today are incredibly varied. Radio's uses in air fighting are well konwn. The "blind" pilot, by which aircraft fly automat- ically along a radio beam, was devel- oped commercially in peacetime, with American experts in the forefront of research. The beam has been us- ed by both sides in the war, most notably by pilots of the RAF Ferry Command who, with its help, guide their huge lend-lease bombers ac- ross the Atlantic. When Silence Means Life In wartime, normal radio tele- phony is restricted because of the danger of the enemy's picking up a signal and getting a bearing 011 the operator's position. Planes and ships in convoy thus travel as silently as possible, only transmitting impera- tive messages. Spitfire squadrons converging on their enemy before a dogfight are in touch with each other as if the flyers were . on landlines. Fighters, of course, have less reason to conceal their whereabouts than airmen on long-distance bombing operations. They can speak to each other more freely, and many an RAF pilot has been able to warn another that an enemy was coming up on his tail. In the case of naval actions, sig-. nags must be minimized, even after the clash has actually occurred. De- tailed reports often have to be held over until the fleets have reached safe waters, because of the dangers of too much signalling. Of the three branches of the fight- ing services, the Army has probably increased its use of radio'morethan any of the others. The modern ar- mored division is complex, and head- phones provide almost its only safe means of communication. Hardly a vehicle in Britain's ar- mored division does not carry a radio set. Installed as normal equipment, these sets are operated by the tank crews themselves, although they are usually serviced by one of the Brit- ish Army's most specialized units, the Royal Corps of Signals.. Each armored division includes its own signal squadrons of about 800 men. They are a self-contained unit. driving and maintaining their own vehicles. The headquarters squadron links the commander and his staff with brigade headquarters, and pro- vides communication with the air and with .the parent formation. Signal Specialists Within the squadron, in addition to the operators, are technical main- tenance men, cable troops to provide reserve landlines, and dispatch rid- ers. Other squadrons link up the sub - formations in the support group and operate with the actual mobile arm- ored brigades, in which they provide the links between brigade headquar- ters and tht flying columns of tanks. In each armored regiment is a small troop of signal specialists to maintain radio sets and batteries. They are responsible for restoring equipment overnight after a battle. in actual warfare the divisional headquarters consists of several large bullet-proof trucks known as armored command vehicles, in which all staff work is done. These trucks are maintained by the Signals and are linked by their own radio set or "house phone," over which the com- mander's orders and information for the distant brigade mhry be heard. These "house phones" have a wide. range in contacting RAF machines. But on land much depends on the terrain and the time of day—recep- tion is unreliable at dawn and dusk AGB THREE AN ARMY EVERY CANADIAN MAY WELL BE PROUD OF ♦ Crouched and poised, with disciplined impatience, waiting to pounce at the enemy, is Canada's great army which will form the spearhead of that decisive offensive just about to be—"a dagger pointed at the heart of Hitler." That something, that the vastness and ruggedness of this great country imparts to men who have still a strong strain of pioneer blood in their veins, has made possible the mustering of an army unsurpassed for physical fitness, and which in mental mould and moral might is the most magnificent that has ever set forth to defend the freedoms and uphold the honor of this young and virile nation of ours. We, of Massey -Harris, are naturally proud that many from the various divisions and branches of our far-flung organization are serving in the ranks of this great army. It is gratifying, also, that the thousands in our several plants are permitted to play an important part in providing the machines and munitions so essential to the success of that army in modern mechanized warfare. And the great Canadian Army which has, as our Minister of National Defence says, "q larger proportion of armored troops than any army in the world," will be a decisive factor in hastening the day of victory. ASSEY-HARRIS : COMPANY 'LIMITED HE 'SERVICEARM *OF THE ' CANADIAN ARM M. plain 'language. The general British Army principle is to send in straight radio telephony whenever possible, for the sake of extra speed. The infantry have their own trav- elling sets, ,sometimes on the backs of signallers, sometimes on limbers. They are low -powered transmitter,, vitally important as links between outposts. Yet, despite what has been said about the huge increase in the uses which have been found for radio, the most important developments are still on the secret list. Research men in the United States and Britain, are still working reletnless}y, adapting radio science to the arts of war, get- ting more and more remote from the simple magnet and circuit key with which it all started under the thought. ful hands of Samuel Finley Breese Morse. Cannot Clean Dirty Eggs Properly Dirty eggs cannot be cleaned satis- factorily, says the Special Wartime Series Pamphlet, No. 57 on "Conser- vation of Egg Quality". The Loss from these so-called .cleaned eggs is sometimes very heavy. A little more attention to frequent renewals of nesting litter and the cleaning of pens would help to eliminate the dir- ty egg. If this .were coupled with the practice of not allowing the birds to run outside when the yards are mud- dy, the loss from this source would practically disappear: A copy of the pamphlet may be obtained free by writing to the Publicity and Exten- sion Division, Dominion Department of .Agriculture, Ottawa. LIBYA'S MOSQITOES Kept Off Troops by Lingerie Makers' 11,000 Miles of Netting Millions of yards of mosquito net- ting for Allied troops in Libya are being made in factory which i peace time supplied artificial silk in delic- ate pastel shades for ladies' lingerie. When the Libyan campaign began, the British Government called for 20,000,000 yards of this netting to protect the troops against malaria - carrying mosquito, sandflies and other pests. The material had, of course, been produced in Britain for many wears by the lace machines of Not- tingham, but more than 11,000 miles of it, erqulred "at once or sooner", was a tough proposition. The Government however, was soon relieved of its anxieties for all the owners of warp -knitting machines in Britain met and undertook to adapt their machinery to the job.
