TELEVlSION STATIONS
INCREASE IN NUMBERS
Licenses Are Now Held by 20,
Engaging Only in Expert
mental Work.

Twenty-nine experimental visual
broadcasting or television stations
have been licensed or authorized by
the Federal Radio Commission as Of
May /. Most are operating on in
termittent schedules on the two in
termediate short wave bands and the
two ultra-short wave bands reserved
for television development.
1t Is estimated that about 10000
lockers in" follow these experiments
on homemade or assembled receiving
equipment, chiefly amateurs and
tinkerers, though radio industry cir
cleS foresee an increase in the tele-
vision audience along with the grow
ing interest in all-wave receivers.
The present assignment of wave
bands for television represents a re-
duction from four in the number of
intermediate bands. the commission
and the delegates to the North Ameri-
can Radio Conference at Mexico
City last Spring being in accord with
the oft-expressed conviction that tele-
Visions ultimate placement will be
entirely on the ultra-short waves.
The present ALLEGATIONS were ordered
by the Mexico conference, which also
ordered, effective May /, 1884, that
accompanying Sound tracks" should
also be frequencies in the television
bands.
1t is noteworthy that more than
half of those licensed to operate tele-
vision stations have affiliations with
broadcasting networks or stations,
lending to the belief that television
will ultimately be an adjunct of reg
! ular sound broadcasting. The sta
tions are listed as purely expert

schedules on certain days each few
months.
With the mobile instruments, tech
nically called portable secondary
frequency standards" it probably will
be unnecessary for stations to under
60 the after-midnight scheduled
tests. Instead, the radio "black ma
rias" will conduct these tests without
the prior knowledge of the stations,
literally "sneaking up" on them. In
that way it is felt more accurate mea-
surements can be made, since the sta
tions will not be forewarned to make
hasty adjustments of their equip
ment.
The commission has purchased six
of these new monitors, five of which
will be installed in radio cars strate-
tically located. The sixth will be in
stalled az headquarters in Washing
ton, for checking purposes. Designed
and built according to specifications
of commission engineers, the instru-
ments cost S25,000. They are capable
of tuning the range from $50 to 1900
kilocycleS, which is more than the area
encompaSsed in the regular broad
casting band.

~ works, which bar the use of
phonograph records or electrical
transcriptions made exclusively for
broadcast purposes in chain programs,
except as incidental background effect,
the British Broadcasting Corporation
has no great prejudices against re-
corded programs. 1t plays them oc-
casionally without even telling the
audience, as American stations are re-
quired to by the Radio Commission
regulations, that they are recordings.
But the recordings are an exception
rather than the rule on the British
radio, being regarded primarily as
standby material for the mircophone.
Recent criticisms voiced against the
failure to announce recordings as such
ELECTED the comment in Wireless
World of London that I'VE are inclined
to think the B. B. C. can very largely
justify its policy" if there is reason
for substituting the record for the
direct broadcast. This British periodi-
cal warned against the possibility that
the British radio authorities might
come to regard the recording as a
ready substitute for the real thing
admittedly unlikely at the B. B. c.,
where radio production is taken very
seriously.
The B. B. c., like our National
Broadcasting Co., recently instituted
a new department called the recording
section, with an engineer and staff.
In addition to using the Blattnerphone,
which is a magnetized steel tape on
which voice and music can be super
imposed and repeated, the recording
section is also using regular wax disks.
and also metal disks. The latter can
be played at once, whereas it takes at
least six hours to manufacture the wax
recordings.
These recordings are designed for
shipment to the colonies and domin-
ions and for reproduction on occasions
over the British networks and stations.
Unlike the American networks and
stations, the British have made it a
point for years to record niomentous
broadcastS and file them away in a
library so that they can be repeated
at will. Important addresses by the
King, the Prince of Wales and great
national leaders, together with great
concerts or special shows, are always
recorded and preserved.

Various Terms Used by Industry
Are Explained.

To establish a nomenclature that
is not misleading to the radio buying
public, the Radio Manufacturers As
sociation's engineering division has
defined standard broadcast" receivers
as those capable of tuning in the
regular frequency range from $40 to
$500 kilocycles; "all-wave" receivers
as those with frequency ranges from
$40 to at least $4,000 kilocycles, and
"short-wave" or "dual-wave" sets as
those having frequencies between
1000 and 10000 kilocycles.
The new classification was found
desirable to avoid Misrepresentation,
in view of the increasing demand for
radios that can tune in foreign Short
