United States and England
One-Fiftieth Second Apart

Despite the distances Spanned
and the various links in the chain
stretching from the Hotel Savoy in
London to the receiving set in the
city apartment or the remote farm
house in the United States, it is
estimated by radio engineers that
less than one-fiftieth of a second
was consumed in the transmission
1t can be said, therefore, that Eu-
rope and America arc only one
tlftieth of a second apart during
these experiments. In truth. the
radio listeners in the United States
heard the music from the London
orchestra even before those same
strains reached the audience in the
Hotel Savoy, due to the relative
sluggishness Of sound waves as
compared with the lightning swift
ness OF radio waves.
The experiment in question is
part Of the extensive research work
being conducted by the engineers
OF the Radio Corporation Of Ameri-
ca, and has for its ultimate goal
the development of international
broadcasting. 1t is through the
agency Of such experiments that
important data is gathered on at
mospheric conditions, meditation
of short-wave and long-wave radio
telephone trans1nitters and recep-
ton of weak signals and their sub
sequent application. 1t is such
continual experimentation that re-
suits in the steady development of
transmitting and receiving equip
ment for the serious work of trans
oceanic and marine radio services,
as well as that supreme entertainer
of the masses-radio broadcasting
service.

most notable advances in radio
broadcasting has been in the relay
ing and rebroadcasting of pro-
grams, with the object of reaching
a vast audience scattered over a
wide territory, with the same pro-
gram. The Radio Corporation of
America and its associated COM
panics have made use of both wire
links, higher power and short-wavc
radio for this purpose. The recent
tests have demonstrated what can
be done not only by means of
short-wave radio relaying, but also
comparatively long wave, high
power relaying for bringing the
concerts and speeches originating
in Europe to our American radio
audience. Not only London and
other English cities, but Paris, Ber-
lin and possibly cities in South
America and the Orient may be
heard in the future, now that the
way has been paved for radio re-
laying on transatlantic scale.
Future Experiments
Remarkable as this experiment
has been and promising as it is for
the future of radio broadcasting, it
is not to be presumed that inter-
national broadcasting is now an
established institution. First of all,
the experiment is intended solely
as an experiment. Secondly, a vast
amount of engineering work must
still be done before a reliable me-
thod is developed for satisfactory
results under all conditions of the
ether. 1t must be borne in mind
that the crisp, cold nights of early
March are more conducive to radio
success than the warm nights of
the spring, summer and fall, where
it is a question of long-range trans
| mission and relaying of such sem
sitive radio telephone waves with
their latent sound values. Hence
radio engineers still have much to
do by way of overcoming the nu-
merous obstacles that face them.
Radio relaying, whether conduc-
ted by means of land wires or ra-
do, is a question of satisfactory
signal strength, minimum distor-
ton of the signal. and the miniIniz-
ing Of atmospheric and other para
site disturbances. If we consider
the short time that radio relaying
has come into actual use, and the
increasing improvement in the
quality of the programs that are
thus relayed. we must admit that
the radio engineers have already
made considerable progress along
the road toward international broad
casting.

the second court house in the dis
trict of Maine before Maine was Il
State. Perhaps ] should not state it,
but there has been a movement
among a very few of the lawyers to
see if that old court house could not
be bought and preserved by mem
bers of the Bar. 1t certainly should
he. And this is a very fine history,
this history of the town of Dresden
and of the old Pownalborough court
house that existed long before Maine
was a State.
l am making these motions, as /
say without any active interest, not
trying to put anything across in par
ticular except | would like to see
that Dresden history come across. L
am simply making the motions to
lay them before the Senate and the
Senate may take action. 1t is of no
active interest to me one way or the
other.

President. may Task u question
through the Chair, whether or not S.

amended on motion of the gentleman
from Penobscot. Senator Barwise?
Mr.. BARWISE: Yes.
Mr.. HINCKLEY: Let me ask one
more question. 1 understood that
amendment was in accordance with the
decision of the Elder Statesmen" in
their economy program. and l want TO
know why now, or whether the Elder
Statesmen and the committee have
decided now to cut it out altogether.
The PRESIDENTS: The senator may
answer through the Chair whether or
not the Elder Statesmen" have
changed their views. The senator
from Penobscot may answer if he
likes.
Mr.. BARWISE: Mr.. President. the
senator from Androscoggin could
probably answer it Just as well. The
fact is. Mr. President. that the COM
mittcc on library III their work had
rather a rocky path during this SEES
sion. In the first place our big appro-
priation for Misunderstanding was cut
out entirely. And then we tried TO
economic on GCh one of these BOOKS
and cut them down so that each would
be less than $500. and now theEe seems
to be further pressure for cutting
still more. 1t was put up to me and |
am frank to say that | refused to 90
I; any more cutting of them, l wouldn't
fight the rest of the committee If they
wanted to do it. and the possibility is
that we can save Il couple of these

ephone signals reaching Belfast
from Chelmsford had to be ampli-
fed almost countless times, before
being fed into a short-wave trans
mitter for rebroadcasting. The
next link in the chain was provided
by short waves which spanncd the
gap between Belfast, Maine, and
the laboratory of the Radio Cor
poration of America, located at
Van Cortlandt Park South and
Saxon Avenue, New York City.
Here Belfast's wave was picked up
on a modified Rcgenohex circuit
receiver designed especially for
short-wave work, and again rein
forced by means of special audio-
frequency amplihers.
Thus far our London signals
were brought down as far as the
outskirts of New York City. The
, next step was to relay the rein
forced signals over land wires to
the control room Of Station WIZ
in the Aeolian Hall Building, in the
heart of New York City. Again the
attenuatcd signals were rcjuvcn-
ated by the audio-frequency pro-
cess before they could be fed into
the usual transmitting apparatus for
retransmission on the usual wave
length of ASS meters. With the click
of a switchboard key, WRC in
Washington was cut in on the cir
cult and London's audience was pro-
portionately enlarged.
So, by means of land wires, high
power transatlantic radio tcle-
phony, super sensitive trans-Atlan-
tic reception, short-wavc transmits
sion and reception, land wires, and
re-transmission by WIZ and WRC,
the musical strains of the Hotel
Savoy orchestra in London set
American feet in action at the same
time that our English cousins were
dancing to the strains of the same
orchestra. WGY at Schenectady
also intercepted and rebroadcast
London's signals, receiving Belfast
