    Default Answer??

    William Taft attended Yale and he signed the SOLAS agreement and also instigated the International Ice Patrol. One of the regulations put in place after the Titanic disaster was provision of 24/7 wireless on all ships carrying more than 50 passengers.

    Default vernon

    i admire your spirit mate, the word we are seeking is yale, you are on the right trail, but nothing to do with ham set. as you realise we are talking 1912????? things where a lot diff then, not that that can throw you i new you would get your teeth into this. i no what your like with trivia, the problem is every time you google titanic@yale it only produces yale university .i knew that, because i answered this question on another site for two authors who had wrote books on the titanic.one a night to remember, as mike mentioned and another dave gittens,who couldnt answer the question themselves? i went down as an ex scouse seaman like a lead baloon? i got the answer from an old white star line history book i have had for years. it is a humdinger and may not be available on the net, i will give you a couple of days with the matchsticks in your eyes and will reveal the answer........... or should i let you sweat ? regards vern terry

    Default Try again!

    You got me going Terry!



    Titanic's radio callsign
    The Titanic's "wireless" equipment was the most powerful in use at the time. The main transmitter was a rotary spark design, powered by a 5 kW motor generator, fed from the ship's lighting circuit. The equipment operated into a 4 wire antenna suspended between the ship's 2 masts, some 250 feet above the sea.
    There was also a battery powered emergency transmitter and a separate motor generator in the room next door. The equipment's guaranteed working range was 250 miles, but communications could be maintained for up to 400 miles during daylight and up to 2,000 miles at night.



    Titanic was assigned the callsign MUC in January 1912. Some time after January, Titanic's callsign was changed to MGY - this was previously assigned to the US vessel Yale.

    Assistant Radio Operator Harold Bride
    at the "Marconi Wireless" aboard the Titanic

    Cheers!

    All three Titanic designers went to Yale??

    Did Yale make the variable resistor that the radio operatives used to increase/decrease power?

    Other than these i am Stumped Terry!! Bleedin Heck!! haha!
