@. Is Frontier Days" of the air for

modern radio, actually broadcast in his
experiments. but neither Of these
pioneers thought anything Of it.
The World War came along and
brought an end to independent develop
ment work. Attention was concen-
trated on the possible military uses of
radio, with the large electrical COM
panies called upon to do their bit in
the experimentation.
Laboratory studies went forth in sew
eral divergent fields. Development of
radio transmitting and receiving APP
paratus, both code and voice, was one
of the lines of research. Westinghouse,
by special license, was permitted to
build and operate such facilities for
experimental purposes.
That is where DR.. Conrad got his
start. Two stations were designed,
equipped and operated during the war
one at the Westinghouse plant at East
Pittsburgh, and the other at DR.. Con-
RAIDS home in the Pittsburgh residential
district, about five miles from the
Westinghouse plant station.
War Left Large Investment.
At the end of the war, Westinghouse
found itself with an organization of
radio telephone experts and a large in
vestment on its hands. To overcome

at his improvised laboratory at home,
and greatly improved the radiotele-
phone transmitter. Using photograph
records, he would broadcast" whenever
he felt the urge and an amateur here
and there tinkering away with his
homemade set would pick the music out
of the ether.

initiation Of q regular broadcast service,
and when Station KDKA went on the
air November 2. 1920, with the first
regular scheduled broadcast, the radio
industry was born.
Following the broadcasting of the
election returns over the then 600-watt
transmitter, O daily program was
adopted from $50 to $50 each evening.
and was gradually expanded: The sta
ton has never had silent day since.
Thus KDKA was the pioneer broad
casting station of the world. Encour-
aged by the increasing demand for re-
ceiving equipment, Westinghouse eStab-
lished Station WBZ at Springfield,
Mass. 9 months after KDKA's inaugu-
raj. Then came WIZ at Newark, N. j.,
then KYW at Chicago. one and two
months later. The next year other COM
panieS invaded the field.
The craze was on. CellerS and attics
were converted into radio laboratories
Every corner store sold the gadgets,
with headphoneS that would pick music
out of the air and from almost every
where. Broadcasting stations cropped
up over night.
Vacuum Tube Made Bow.
The vacuum tube made its bow, sup
planting the crystal detector and the
cats whisker. BroadcaSting equipment
was improved. The earphone gave way
to the loud speaker that looked like the
old monograph horn, then came the
dynamic speaker, and then the COM
bination cabinet set. Confused dialing
knobs and switches disappeared and the
single-dial control made reception about
automatic. The industry turned to
tonal quality and got It, The novelty
wore off radio. 1t became an unpre-
cedented medium Of entertainment and
enlightenment.
The industry thrived. But the people
had to be offered programs that would
keep them home at night. To stage a
show Is expensive, broadcasting stations
soon discovered. and many of the sta
tions which had cropped UP like mush-

RELAY STATION NEEDED
Radio Telephone Service Between
Continents Is Pending.

Continents Is Pending.
The establishment of radio-telephone
service between North America and the
leading cities of Australia and Japan
is now awaiting the completion of the
high-powered relay station to be
erected somewhere on the Pacific
Coast. BY joining its transatlantic
radio-telephone circuit to the recently
established acknowledgements cir
cult, the American system has already
made service available to Australia.
At present, the British system is also
conducting experiments designed to
establish an England-to-Japan radio
telephone link. which can as readily
and probably will be joined to the
transatlantic circuit to North America.
In the meantime, the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. Is going for
ward with its plans to erect the
Pacific Coast station for service to
Hawaii and the Philippines, as well as
Japan and Australia.
