From The Hindu Archives, February 10, 1926: Empire wireless development

Rugby, Feb. 9: Professor Eccles, who is a leading authority on wireless, suggests, in a letter to The Times to-day, that a further step towards maintaining inter-communication within the Empire could be effected if smaller or isolated communities in the Empire were equipped with in expensive short-wave stations., which would enable them to communicate with each other and to reply to the Rugby stations. He points out that wireless links provided by the completion of the high-power station at Rugby by the erection of British and Dominion beam stations and by re-organization of Oxford, Cairo and Northolt stations, provided together with an elaborate network of cables, would give almost continuous telegraphic communication between larger communities of the Empire.
