thread_title: [[CNR Radio]]

message: I remember a newspaper article in the 1970s about the CN Radio network, and I believe I retained it. It also discusses the temporary national network of 1927 that stretched across all nine provinces. Much of the temporary network, according to the article, was "strictly baling wire". For months, memos and telegrams were sent to notify operators which lines of the railway's circuits would be used on Dominion Day for the network. Nevertheless, somewhere in the Prairies, a train pulled into a siding and the conductor improperly tied into the lines and, on hearing "gramophone music", demanded to know why such music was being played on the dispatch line in "that part of the Prairies". Sir Thornton ordered the man to be merely reprimanded, not fired, when he heard it on the national broadcast.
The network also was to carry the sound of the newly-installed carillon bells on Parliament Hill. The technician assigned to capture the sound was not sure how to do it, and wound up clinging to the outside of the tower, mike in hand. The bells were out of tune.
