| "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 exactly the same way: you send |
| signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that |
| there is no cat." |
