Test Automatic Wireless.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 1, 1912:
Marconi Operators and Government Officials at English Trial.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Sept. 30.— The Marconi Company to-day gave a demonstration of high-speed automatic transmission at their works at Chelmsford to representatives of the British Post Office, the Admiralty, the War Office, the Colonial Office, and Crown agents. Speed signals were transmitted by the representatives of the Government present and were received and recorded at Chelmsford.
    It was demonstrated that the signals could be received at a high rate of speed on a recording cylinder, which was afterward caused to repeat the messages at a rate of speed sufficiently low to enable the operators to read them.
    By another method, which was shown, messages as received were printed on tape.
