The Eclipse of August, 1932, Observed by Radio Facsimile

In connection with the eclipse of August, 1932, a good deal of interest was shown in the theory of the corpuscular shadow which was expected during the two hours before the optical eclipse. A radio receiving station equipped to take continuous facsimile records of a signal from Schenectady was therefore set up at Conway, New Hampshire. The records showed a marked change in conditions during the period of the expected corpuscular shadow. This paper contains samples of the facsimile records and an interpretation of the phenomena observed.
