You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a 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 exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

Vedete, il telegrafo a filo è un tipo molto, molto lungo di gatto. Voi tirate la sua coda a New York e la sua testa miagola a Los Angeles. Lo capite questo? E la radio opera esattamente allo stesso modo: voi mandate i segnali qui, e loro li ricevono là. L'unica differenza è che non c'è alcun gatto.
