Kilocycles

The term " kilocycle " will eventually supplant " wavelength " in the jargon of the radio fan. The U. S. Bureau of Standards has approved it. Abbreviate it kc. The frequency will be expressed in thousands of cycles per second--in other words, kilo cycles. To transmute wavelengths to kilocycles, divide 300,000 by the number of meters, or to obtain meters, divide 300,000 by kilocycles.
