Letter from a new bride, married to an engineer

Dear Mother,

I am writing to inform you of how much I enjoyed my WIRELESS HONEYMOON. As soon as we arrived at our hotel, he insisted on seeing my receiving set, and naturally I agreed, for now he has a license.

He soon had my set uncovered and spend some time examining it carefully. My two large condensers pleased him immediately and he was soon manipulating them with the ease of an expert.

Obviously satisfied that my socket was in order, he got his aerial and had it erected, I was pleased to see that his twin accumulators were fully charged. He had quite a job getting his aerial filtered at first as he had it insulated with rubber. I suggested taking the rubber off to ensure complete contact, and having done so he plugged in again and turning his knob, a perfect contact was made inside my set.

He was careful at first as he played due to the resistance of my new receiver but soon the high tension increased and his aerial began to oscillate. My receiver warmed up and the signal to cover through. He manipulated the condensers again and extended the volume. Suddenly, I noted the atmosphere on my set and without warning massive fluid came through and fortunately the action caused his aerial to sag and his accumulators were run down. So, he was obliged to disconnect.

It seemed pity that our evening's entertainment had to be curtailed, but as he said my receiver would become adjusted to his aerial once he had learnt to control the high tension, perfect reception could be ensured over a long period. He said he was surprised to find my receiver new as he was under the impression that it had been in use with some other aerials.

I should like to have a longer aerial, for I feel sure if he could get an inch or more longer, we would have enough volume to get a loud speaker. He agreed with me but he thought regular use should stretch it sufficiently.

Well, Mother, I shall have to close now as he has been doing my condensers while I have been writing. He has already uncovered my receiver and his aerial is erected and I cannot write very well once he had got it plugged in.

I will write to you tomorrow and let you know what reception is like tonight. He did say that he is going to try my receiver in a different position.

Your loving daughter......
