Hence under ideal conditions radio waves travel at the velocity of light - about 186,270 mi. per sec. - and for many a year radiomen assumed that wireless signals always traveled at that pace in their journeys around Earth. Last week Dr. Harlan True Stet son of Harvard informed the Institute of Radio Engineers that...
