INTRODUCED BY NDC
New Mobile Unit IL Combined
Radio Station and Studio
on Wheels

A novel radio innovation was In
augurated Easter Sunday BY the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. It u . new
mobile unit. q combined radio station
and studio on wheels.
The equipment Is housed in Z spe-
cially-built automobile a feet LONG
overall, with top speed Of 65 miles
an hour. The car carried two trans-
mitters, one with . power Of $50 watts
and IN auxiliary Of Is watts.
The 150-Watt transmitter, which q
operated on . generator driven BY q
two-cycle gasoline engine, has 4
sending range Of 100 miles when Sta.
tionary and 50 miles when In motion,
under ordinary conditions. Tho aux
Hilary transmitter Is operated on stor-
age batteries.
The new unit viii make It possible
for the NBC to originate special
broadcasts at practically any point de-
sired, since there are few places In
the United States, II there are any,
which are not within 100 miles Of .
telephone line where = pickup could
b made for the networks.
The car Is divided into two parts.
The rear section contains the trans-
power plant, amplifiers and
other equipment. The front section
contains the drivers seat, seats for IN
announcer and observer, and . desk
~ the dashboard for microphone and
portable typewriter.
There Is = trap-door over the an
councer's seat, 90 that he may stand
with head and shoulders above the
top Of the car, with = clear view In
al! directions.
Standard equipment Of the car In
cludes = portable pack transmitter,
further Increasing the units mobility.
Il 1t became necessary to originate Q
program from . spot off the road,
Ind inaccessible to the car, It would
be possible for an announcer, through
the pack transmitter. to send hts voice
to tho car transmitter, which In turn
would relay It to the networks.
The new mobile unit car, especially
developed by NBO engineers, Is be-
lieved to b the most powerful and
the most technically perfect In ex-
lstence.

IRWIN M. RAFFEL
 WINNER OF PRIZE
Former Local Boy Suc- cessfuI in National
 Essay Contest

A former Waterbury boy. Irwin Milton Raffel, son of MT and Mrs Harry A. Raffel of Bristol has been awarded one of the prizes in a na- tional contest for Mount Rushmore Memorial inscriptions. The youth graduated from Driggs school June with honors in 1888.
 The winning thesis of the Bris- tol lad will be entered in the na- tional contest conducted by the Hearst newspapers and the one se- lected by the committee of histor. ians, educators, writers and mer and women of prominence, will be used for the memorial.
 The Mount Rushmore Memorial is a. sculpture on the granite o1 the Black Hills of South Dakota and Is in the form of figures oi George Washington, Abraham Lin coin and Theodore Roosevelt. Gut. zon Borglum, famous sculptor, is doing the work. The late presi- dent Calvin Coolidge undertook the task of writing a 600 word text which was to be inscribed on the memorial, but his death prevented his carrying cut the job.
 As a result the Rushmore Me- morial Commission invited Amer ican people to join in writing this epic of their own country, dealing with nine outstanding episodes that have entered into its birth and development. The winning text will be cut in the memorial in the side of the mountain.
 Young Mir. Raffel has just com pleted his first year in the Bristol high school. He is a member of the high school debating team.
