The one station in Germany
which is operated privately is
onigswusterhausen One Sunday
morning a friend of Herr Bardos
took up in his car to this little
town some twenty miles from Ber-

grand wireless center for German
sending 10 European news bureaus.
Fourteen towers support the null
tiplicity of aerials in the fields
about the three main buildings
wherein are operated the several
stations ranging in power from two
to fifty kilowatts.
The only concert given during the
week was going on as we entered
the main building-an orchestra was
playing French music-"Samson and
Delilah." The wireless director and
his assistant, both young men, met
us and the former showed US around
while the latter managed the pro-
gram. To these two gentlemen
Herr Gerlach and Herr Schwartz
kopf, belongs the honor, so far as 1

Early in 1920 they made a small
transmitter from spare parts and
broadcast monograph music. On
the evening of June 10, 1920, this sta
ton was connected by telephone line
with the State Opera House in Ber-

waves as the first complete opera
broadcast to the world.
