...term " kilocycle " will eventually supplant " wavelength " in the jargon of the radio fan. The U. S. Bureau of Standards has approved it. Abbreviate it kc. The frequency will be expressed in thousands of cycles per second-in other words, kilo cycles. To transmute wavelengths to kilocycles, divide 300,000 by the number of meters, or to obtain meters, divide 300,000 by kilocycles...
...carry it about with him in a Boston bag. Strips of reading will be catalogued by number, like phonograph records, and assignments will be made by number and by the foot. The lecture-room will naturally fall into the limbo of the past as lectures, each at a different wavelength, are broadcasted from the professor's study to students in outlying cities within a specified radius. Examinations, however, will flourish no less hardily, for the otherwise untrammeled absentees will be made to answer questions and submit reports by the telautograph. Verily "The old orde--splut-- -- --." Even the athletes will...
