Abstract
THE Government wireless station at Rugby, now almost completed, is the only one of its class in the British Empire, and is the most powerful wireless station in the world. It was designed by the Wireless Telegraphy Commission and erected by the Wireless Section of the Engineering Department of the Post Office. During design and erection many new problems arose, partly because thermionic valves had not been used on so large a scale before, and partly because extreme efficiency was imperative in order to meet the Government's demand that the station should communicate with every part of the Empire. Many features of the station are novel and of wide interest.
