Three microphone positions were in
stalled, one at the left side, one in the
center, and one on the right side. A
separate amplifier channel was pro-
vided for and connected to loud speak
ers mounted above the orchestra shell
in positions corresponding to the mi
crophones. Two microphones were in
stalled at each position. The two on
the left side were connected together
to give a satisfactory balance for the
cellos, harps and bass viols in the
orchestra. In the center the micro
phones were independent, but the ex-
ira one was used by vocal soloists and
was fitted to special volume controls.
On the right, in addition to the regular
microphone, an extra one was placed
high in front of the shell and was used
for harp and cello solo numbers.

Now the people in the back rows, a
tenth of mile away, hear perfectly
the fine orchestras and soloists on the
stage of the Hollywood Bowl in Cali
fornia. This is made possible through
special equipment developed and in
stalled by Bell Telephone Laboratories
sound engineers.
With the increased public interest in
fine music, sound engineers are meet
ing the demand for improved reception
and acoustical quality in auditoriums.
The Hollywood Bowl, being an out
door, natural amphitheatre, presented
a new problem. It is situated in a
hollow surrounded by low hills. With
no walls or ceilings to reflect sound,
special equipment was necessary to
direct the entire output of the orches-
ira or singer toward the audience
from the stage. To do this the loud
speakers had to be placed near the
stage to maintain the illusion that all
of the sound came from that point and
great care had to be taken to prevent
the sound from the speakers feeding
back into the microphones and Great
ing singing noise.
There is large conical sound re-
fiecting shell on the stage. Tiers, of
seats rising in curved rows up the
sloping hillside accommodate approx
mately 22,50O people.

Office was established, lower Broadway
was festooned with telephone wires.
That was before the days of telephone
cable, and below the mass of wires was
to be seen tumble of horse cars,
drays and brokers' shiny vehicles.
Telephone men early recognized the
necessity for relieving the overhead
congestion and in 1893 the last of the
open wire lines on lower Broadway
disappeared. Broadway is known as
a street where things happen. It's 49,
600 telephones help them happen.
