Sweden scientists claim long distance telephony breakthrough
Interesting experiments in long distance telephony were carried out in Sweden by Messrs Eguer and Holmstroons. They built an apparatus enabling sound to be transmitted over wires more clearly than existing telephones. Experiments connected Stockholm to Berlin, a 900 mile route via Copenhagen and Schleswig Holstein, then Berlin to Paris, totaling about 1800 miles. Conversation was perfectly audible at both ends. The inventors believe submarine cables pose the main remaining challenge and foresee possible telephone links between Europe and America.
