at the Leipsig Fair was a
"kerosene- lamp -operated" all wave
radio. Designed for rural areas
where no electricity is available,
it is powered by a series of thermocouples
packed in asbestos and
heated by the lamp flame. The
power generated is 3 watts,
enough to light the low- current
filaments.
LONG- DISTANCE WIRE. One
pound of tungsten makes 8.5 mi.
