Abstract :
The French government radio authorities began transmitting daily Ursigrams from the Eiffel Tower (FLE) in Paris, on 1 December 1928. This service has since been regularly maintained and extended to corresponding daily emissions from FLY Lafayette Station near Bordeaux and FYB Paris-Pontoise. Both emissions are made at 20.30 GMT and in clear (uncoded) French language. Commencing with 1 August 1930, there has been a regular daily Ursigram emitted in code, from the US Navy Radio Station NAA, Washington, DC, under the auspices of "Science Service," Washington, USA. It has been the aim of the Liaison Committee of the URSI to distribute information concerning these Ursigram services to many interested persons and groups. It has similarly been the aim of the American Section Committee on Cooperation to aid in the same task. The work also discusses proposed British Ursigram, projected changes and extensions in the French Ursigrams, projected extensions in the American Ursigrams, and meetings of the US National Comittee on Cooperation.
