Infra-red rays are produced by ite light and for his two and a mile projection Schroeter uses | ‘#These he a 100-watt tube. He says his suc- cess is due to an extra sensitive receiving cell, which depends upon selenium with the addition of tali- um sulphide. He believes the infra-red process can be used to locate objects in- visible in the fog at least well enough to reduce collisions at sea, and perhaps in wartime to nip aerial attacks. It works in a smoke screen vir- tually the same as in fog.
