Abstract

Accuracy in wave-length measurement is necessary in countries where large numbers of broadcasting and other transmission systems are operating simultaneously. In these countries, interference can only be minimised by all transmitters keeping closely to their allotted wave-lengths. This requirement makes it necessary to have all wavemeters accurately calibrated.
In Australia, the need for accuracy is not felt now so much as it will be in the future, but in Europe interference is so bad that a Conference - consisting of delegates from all European countries - has met to discuss means of lessening the trouble.
The author of this paper felt that it was very desirable for the University of Melbourne to be able to undertake accurate wave-length measurements, and the experiments described herein were undertaken with the object of providing the means for such work.
