IT never became really interested
in radio until recently said Mr..
Lieua1len on Saturday. 'E. ]. Reilly
of the Western Electric company with
headquarters in Seattle came here.
In his travelling bag he carried a
small receiving set which he installed
in my electric shop, above which is
an aerial, and received his instruc-
tions from Seattle. That opened my
eyes to the really tremendous possi
,hilities of radio transmission"
