Different signals are to be sent out at regular Intervals from sta-. tlons ait Le Harrs rile de Seln and Croach d‘ Oueesant. The “tune" of each signal will be differ ent, and tbe signals themselves will be various Utters of the alphabet, so that those arriving from one station will not be confounded with those coming from another.
