New Ship for Phosphate

Trade Triona’s Wireless Telephone

THE Triona, which was built in the United Kingdom for the British Phosphate Commission, has taken up her running between Ocean Island, Nauru and Melbourne.

The vessel has been equipped by Amalgamated Wireless (A/sia.) Ltd. with a complete wireless installation.

This includes an AW.A. 1½ kilowatt marine transmitter, employing C.W. and I.C.W. on both long and short waves, and speech on long waves (600 to 800 metres).

The telephony transmitter is used by the master of the vessel to speak to the British Phosphate Commission officials through their wireless telephone stations at Nauru and Ocean Island. ===
