   • 1926, Olav Langeland, Rikare liv:

     Det vedunderet som me no kallar radio, hev synt det endå klårare. Det er ljosbylgjor som er so små og snøgge, og sume so langsame at ikkje noko menneskjeauga kann uppfanga dei.

     The miracle that we now call radio has shown this even clearer. It is light waves that are so small and fast, and some so slow that no human eye can perceive them.
