Observations in Transmission during the Solar Eclipse of August 31, 1932

This paper is a report of the result of tests on transmission during the solar eclipse of August 31, 1932. Signals in the 7500-kilocycle band were transmitted from a point in the path of totality and were recorded in Cleveland, Ohio. The records show a slow rise in level until a few minutes before totality when a sharp increase was observed. At totality the signals suddenly dropped to a very low level, then increased slowly until the end of the eclipse, when a second rise in intensity took place. This peak continued for several minutes and then fell to the normal level.
