You see, wire telegraph is a kind of very, very long cat.  You pull 
his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles.  Do you 
understand this?  And radio operates in exactly the same way: you 
send signals here, they receive them there.  The only difference is 
that there is no cat.                                     --Albert
