Japanese-American radio circuit

The radio telegraph circuit between the United States and Japan is operated continuously carrying a large portion of the transpacific telegraph traffic. When the recent disastrous earthquake devastated Tokio and Yokohama the radio service was not interrupted. The first news of the disaster came to the United States over this radio circuit and for several days thereafter the most complete despatches describing the extent of the losses and damage came by radio. The writer recently returned from Japan where he was engaged as a representative of the Radio Corporation of America in cooperative work with Japanese engineers at the Iwaki station. The following is a description of the Japanese stations working with America as they exist at the present time.
