RADIO PROGRAMS
WILL Be WIRED
Three Cleveland Power Sub
stations Being Equipped
for Transmission.
BY MARTIN CoDEL.

Wired radio" will make its debut in
Cleveland early in 1929. This was
learned definitely today from C.. w.
Hough, president Of Wired Radio, Inc,
a subsidiary of the North American
Co. of the Stone & Webster public
utility group.
Three power substations in Cleveland
are now being equipped for transmitting
entertainment programs by radio waves
directed along the power lines that ex-
tend into the homes served by those
stations. The studios of broadcaSting
station WTAM-WEAR, in which the
North American Co. Is now revealed as
substantial stockholder, will probably
be used by the talent.
This is to be the first stage in the
introduction into many cities of wired
radio" programs sent into homes along
the power lines. Mr.. Hough declared
that q special socket plug-in receiving
set will be furnished customers for this
service at a normal monthly rental.
Those preferring to use their regular
radio receiving sets and loud speakers
will be able to obtain a device that will
attach to such sets and be able to turn
in the wired in addition to the
space" radio.
After the Cleveland experiment the
North American Co. may extend the
service to the other cities in which it
operates. One of the largest of the
power groups, 1t has subsidiaries mainly
in Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Wis
consin, Michigan and California. Their
operations embrace more than 700 COM
nlunities. with population exceeding
S,5O0,000, and including such cities as
st. Louis, Milwaukee, Racine, San Fran
cisco and Oakland.
The North American Co. also has
substantial investments in the Detroit
Edison Co. and the Washington Railway
g. Electric Co. Of the District of Co
lumbia.
Serving more than 100000 custom
ers with power and light, this giant
concern has seen the possibility of fur
nishing those customers with entertain
ment also. 1t insists that 1t is entering
Evening star., 1928-10-30

this field as an adjunct to radio rather
than as competitor. 1t is known, how
ever, that an effort some time ago to
consolidate wired radio or to obtain
q working agreement with one OF the
largest radio groups failed to mate
rialize.
Wired Radio, Inc, besides having
gathered up some 500 patents in the
six years of its existence. has had
agents securing the world for musical
material. They have been signing
scores of contracts for copyright
rights" and entering into agreements
with the key people controlling enter
tainment talent The millions already
spent on patents and musical copy
rights, the great amount ready to pour
into promotion and the tremendous
financial resources of the North Ameri-
can Co. augur the serious entrance of
wired radio" into new created field
The invention of wired radio" is at
tributed to Gen. George o. Squier u. S.
A., retired, wartime chief of the Army
Signal Corps. Gen. Squier found that
low frequencies, or long waves. could be
directed along power or telephone wires
without interfering with the transmits
sion of electricity or conversation or
with other wireless services.
The advantage claimed over broad
casting is that wired radio" is free
from the variables of space radio. 3"
This means that programs received in
this wav do not suffer from static
fading. heterodyning skip-distance eff
fects. day and night variations and the
many other troubles of radio. A whole
new range of frequencies. fully as great
as the range of broadcast waves. can
be used and kept under control in way
that ordinary radio cannot.
At the receiving end either the spe-
cially built set can be plugged into the
house wires or the pickup device
plugged in and attached to an ordinary
radio receiving set.
The set invented by Gen. Squier is
called the "Monophone, the word
meaning "one-way telephone" 1t is a
three-tube outfit. one detector and
two stages of audio. It is tuned into a
particular program by the mere press
ing of button.
Three or four programs will be Of
fered initially, but 1t is claimed that
many more can be carried along the
path of the wires. The wide range of
frequencies opens up the prospect that
when television arrives 1t will be re-
Ceived into homes by means of wired
radio" on account of the scarcity of
ether wave lengths and the multitude
nous distortions and variations that a
visual signal would suffer after travel
ing through the air.
