Teleradio In The
Islands
Steady Growth of System
MANY times, in the years between 1930 and 1935, the “P.1.M.” urged that teleradio sets (then produced and perfected by Amalgamated Wireless, Ltd.) would solve one of the most serious problems of Pacific Islands life —namely, lack of quick communication with the large centres of population.
In recent years, teleradio has been gen erally adopted in the Islands; and the following, from the “Rabaul Times” shows what is being done in New Guinea: “During March and April the teleradio network in the Mandated Islands has been developed further through the in stallation of teleradio equipment at four more outposts—the Methodist Mission at Malalia (New Britain); Cape Lambert (New Guinea) Forests, Ltd.; New Britain Timbers (in the Baining Ranges) and T.
Flower, timber merchant, at Henry Reid Bay, New Britain. All these stations communicate by wireless telephony with the A.W.A. mother station at Rabaul, whence radio telegraphy connects the out lying districts with Sydney and the out side world. Rabaul is now the centre for 14 teleradio stations, of which A.W.A. has established about 180 in the Pacific Islands, Australia and other places.”
