Huge Sun Spot
Disrupts World
New York, March 24,?A huso spot
on the sun played havoc with communication
today. J
Disruption of tplogruph and short
wave radio service was the worst in
30 years, some experts said. The <
American Telephone and Telegraph
company, largest land-lino owner in
the country, said it was the worst '
case of traffic impairment its eugt-j
neors could recall.
Cable communication between Ki^
rope and the New York Associated j
Press office broke suddenly at 10:20
a. m. One channel was restored at
1:60 p. m. and a second at 3:07. Ser-j
vice to I^atin American countries was
unaffected, iuasmuch as it follows a
north-south course.
The direct cause, aocording to 1>1- (
rector William liartou of the Hay den
Planetarium, was an "enormous" spot
on the sun, resulting in severe earth
currents.
What happened was this, he said:
The sun apot is cuuaod by a tre-;
mendous oloctrlcal disturbance on the1
sun.
The disturbance bombards the earth
with a stream of electrical charges.
The earth's magnetic force deflects
this stream of charges toward the
North and South poles and the stream,
In heading toward the poles, disrupts
other electric currents traveling at
right angles, like conflicting streams
of traffic.
Tho force is so strong that It will
sometimes reverse the direction of
current in a circuit.
Tho aurora borealis, or northern
lights, Is a manifestation of this rush
of particles to the poles; passing
through the atmosphere It lights it
up Just like a current Illuminates the
gas In a neon tub? sign. The aurora
was not visible last night, however.
For four hours and ten minutes,
starting at 10:30 a. m. (E. S. T.) the
Associated Press network of 185,000
miles of leased wires was out of use?
except In a 500-mile radius around
New York City.
The Amorican Telephone and Telegraph
company,besides being shut off
entirely from Europe for hours, re|
ported domestic telegraph service disI
rupted intermittently as far away as
i Omaha, Kansas City and Dallas. WestI
em Union said the disturbance went
; as far West as Denver. Telephone
I service remained normal,
i Strength of the eartli currents was
i
recorded us high as 500 volts In some
places, burning out Insulation aud
"repeaters" devices transferring signals
from one wire to another In l^ng
hookups. /
While long wave radio broadcasting
systems reported UtUe trouble, short
wave communication was wiped out,
except for short distances. Air lines
communication consisted of a wireless
relay system between nearby points
when the land-line teletype system
was unusable.
