(c) Name of the land station charged with the transmission, as it appears in the nomenclature. (2) The name and call signal provided for under section 1 (1) (b), however, mE',y be replaced at the sender's risk by the designation of the route followed by the mobile station, this route being determined by the names of the ports of departure and of destination, or by any other equivalent information. (3) When a radiotelegram received from a mobile station is rdayed over the general communication system, the lend station shall trans- mit as origin the name of the mobile station whence the radiotele- gram emanat.es as this name appears in t.he nomenclature, followed by the name of the said land station. §2. (1) Mobile stations authorized to be without the official nomen- clature of telegraph offices may follow the name of the telegraph office of destination by the name of the territorial sub-division and, if necessary, by the name of the country of destination, if it is doubted whether, without this addition, the routing will be made without delay. (2) The name of the telegraph office and the supplementary infor- mation shall in this case be counted and charged for only as a single word. The agent of the land station receiving the radio telegram shall retain or delete this information, or again modify the name of the office of destination as may be necessary or sufficient to route the radio- telegram to its proper destination. ARTICLE 23 m8:rseTarmstroBot (talk)iTarmstroBot (talk)m Order oj priority in the establishment oj communications in the mobile nications. service Calling. The order of priority in the establishment of communications in the mobile service shall be as follows: 1. Distress calls, distress messages, and distress traffic. 2. Communications preceded by an urgent signal. 3. Communications preceded by the safety signal. 4. Communications relative to radiocompass bearings. 5. All other communications. ARTICLE 24 Galling §1. (1) As a general rule, responsibility for est!1blishing communi- cation with the land station rests with the mobile station; the latter may call the land station, for this purpose, only after arriving within the range of action of sRid station. (2) In principle, a land station having traffic for a mobile station which has not indicated its presence, must call this station only if it has reason to believe that the said mobile station is within range and is keeping watch. §2. (1) Land stations may, however, transmit their traffic list, consisting of the call signals of all mobile stations for which they have traffic on hand, at fixed intervals which have been established by agreements between the Governments concerned. Land stations which transmit their calls on the wave of 500 kc/s (600 m.) shall trans- mit the call signc.ls of their traffic list in alphabetical order; land stations which use continuous waves shall transmit these call signals in the most convenient order.
