Abstract
This paper describes a preliminary installation of a continuous automatic recorder of virtual heights of the Kennelly-Heaviside layer. This installation requires that a chopper at the transmitter and a revolving mirror at the receiving station be driven by synchronous motors connected to the same power system. The group retardation method of Breit and Tuve is used with a few modifications which permit continuous records to be made. Suggestions are made for improvements which might be incorporated in a permanent installation.
