The first long are of longitude by wireless was carried out between Paris and Washington from 1913 Oct.-1914 Feb. After the War the Bordeaux service was started. Schemes for the determination of the longitudes of a number of the principal observatories we're brought forward by the General and carried out in October and November 1926, and a proposal for a re-determination in 1933 has been set on foot by him. The General attended a number of Astronomical and Geodetic Congresses, generally as Chairman of the Commission on Longitudes. He was a most courteous chairman and very friendly colleague.
