Abstract

A CONSTANT struggle has been going on for the last ten years between the users of the adjectives “wireless” and “radio.” It is hoped that the question will be solved by international agreement. In America “radio” is in general use, but in this country it is probable that “wireless” will be used by many experts for several years to come. It is easily understood why authors who have written books on “wireless” should be loath to change, but that they should have a strong following seems odd. In our opinion, “radiophone” is a suitable contraction for “radiotelephone,” and “radiophone communication” is better than “wireless telephone communication.”
