so arranged that they have different comparative values
at the same moment. It is possible to send very strong
signals in a direction lying in the same plane as the aerials.
By the use of three or more antennæ suitably differing in
their phase of excitation and situated at the vertices of a

triangle it is possible to send strong signals in certain di-
rections only.
Messrs. Bellini and Tosi have devised a very ingenious
method of directively transmitting and receiving electric
waves as shown in the accompanying diagrams. The an-
tenna consists of two closed or nearly closed circuits of
triangular shape arranged in two perpendicular planes.
The two aerials each contain a circular coil of wire per-
pendicular to each other with their windings in the planes
of the antenna circuits respectively. A third coil is con-
nected to the receiving apparatus when the messages are
