...fixed at the focal points of two curved reflectors which faced each other. One, facing in the direction messages were to be sent, was ten feet in diameter. The other suggested a motorcar headlight. The two reflectors concentrated the waves which the antenna emitted into a sharply defined beam. Two of these devices were set up, about 100 yd. apart, on each side of the Channel. The large reflector of the one functioning as a transmitter on one shore pointed at the large reflector of the receiver on the opposite shore...
Over Manhattan and Brooklyn one night last week a strange new beam of light appeared in place of an old one which had vanished. The new one: an advertising searchlight designed by one Alfred Gauthier, to etch letters and legends in the sky even when there are no clouds to provide a background.

Recently the Department of Commerce ruled that only beacons actually on an established airway might use white lights...

...target, they radiate in all directions from their source. Some travel through the target, others back in the direction of the bombarding electrons. Present-day tubes have utilized the rays proceeding toward the electrons' source. These rays are not so intense as those proceeding away from the electronic beam. The source of their generation is in an inaccessible position making it difficult to localize the X-rays. Dr. Olshevsky found that by using only the stronger X-rays which pass through the target and armoring the rest of the tube, he obtained a safer and more precise piece...
