Tr Cau ey a Xo ¢ Le IA Co A radio photograph of a greeting written in shorthand was transmitted recently to a conference of educators and shorthand experts attending a banquet in Liverpool. This was the first time that a message in shorthand had ever been transmitted by Photo- radio, and according to engineers opens up new possibilities for con- densing lengthy messages and state- ments into smaller spaces with a con- sequent reduction in cost of the pic- ture transmitted. The text of the message, not In- cluding the date, numbered forty one words of which only the address and signature were written in longhand, with the remaining 32 words in short- hand. The sender was Alexander S. Massell, president of the Commercial Reproduction of shorthand Photoradiogram greeting. Translation: National Gregg Association Exchange Hotel Liverpool The Commercial Education Association of New York City and vicinity extends sincere congratulations and best wishes to you on the occasion of your conference commemorating the 40th anniversary of Gregg shorthand. ALEXANDER S. MASSELL, President. Education of New York, who address: ed a message of greeting in this form to the banquet held by the National Gregg Association at the Exchange Hotel, Liverpool, England. John Rob: ert Gregg, the only living author of the shorthand method bearing his name, was a guest of honor at the banquet, which commemorated the fortieth anniversary of the use of Gregg shorthand. The message, was photographed, and the negative placed on a glass cylinder of the Photoradio transmitter located at the New York offices of the Radio Corporation of America It was then flashed across the 3,000 intervening miles of ocean to London and from there delivered to the ban- quet hall of the Exchange Hotel.

By DR. ALFRED N. GOLDSMITH Chief Broadcast Engineer, R.C. A. Radio, unlike canned goods, has no winter or summer season. There are fresh vegetables the year round in the radio garden, so that it is hardly necessary to har vest and can our radio enjoyment during a few months for use in what might be a less fortunate sea- son. If we mentioned wintertime or sum- mertime phono graphic music, we might be laughed A. N. Goldsmith at, because the phonographic presentation has come to be accepted as a permanent, un- changing, immune form of entertain ment, ready to serve in mid-winter or mid-summer alike. And by the same token, when radio programs and radio services are maintained from one end of the year to the other at the same high levels of excellence, with little difference to in- dicate the passing seasons, it becomes decidedly out of order to speak of seasonable radio. Today the signal strength of any first-class broadcasting station within its service range is more than ample to ride high above the normal sum- mertime static level. Indeed, it is only when the radio enthusiast insists on going in search of DX or long-dis- tance signals that the static level be- comes troublesome, since he has plunged below it. Important Considerations Of course the elements of good re ception should perhaps be more close- ly observed in summer than in winter. Among the more important considera- tions are: 1. Selecting the signals from a sta- tion of adequate power, located not too far distant. It is well that the station have a repuation for careful maintenance, and be quite free from the criticisms of poor transmitter op- eration, haphazard monitoring, vary- ing power, serious fading, wave length wohble, and other signs of poor broad- casting. Fading, it goes without say- tng, is usually a condition beyond the control of the broadcaster, and may just as well be charged up to the lo- cation of the listener. 2. Selecting high quality programs, and especially features with sufficient “body” to cover up such static back- ground as may exist even with high signal level. It is well to note that signal level is one thing, and sound level is another. Thus a dance orches- tra or concert band is a better feature in combatting static interference than a string trio or a violin sole. 3. It is well to be content with reasonable volume. While it is true that the volume control of the radio get increases or decreases everything issuing from the loudspeaker—static as well as signal—proportionately, it is a matter of how much background noise may be present before the lis- tener becomes fully conscious and even irritated by its presence. By be- ing satisfied with reasonable volume during the ddys of high static, we may reduce the background noise to a mini- mum. The power of transmitters is not reduced during the summer months. Hence in most localities there is am- ple signal strength from leading sta- tions to ride well above the usual summer static, with the exception of the occasional thunderstorm in the immediate neighborhood. Yet who expects idea: radio conditions every night? Try driving your automobile through a thunderstorm at night, with the dazzling flashes of lightning, the torrential downpour of rain, with the ignition system in difficulties due to moisture, and other troubles! Still, we do not speak of summertime auto mobile handicaps. We are willing to forego motoring during the occasional storm of winter or summer. Quality Programs Programs are maintained at the highest standards, although in keep ing with seasonable moods and ac tivities of outdoor weather, they may be pleasantly different from those of indoor weather. The skilled program director, in fact, pays close attention to the demands of his summertime audience. As to the radio listener, there is just as much reason to listen in dur ing the sumn.er as during the winter Music, enlightenment, contact with the world, the thrill of sporting events, participation in history in the making, and other program features form a rich mental background for our summer life. If anything, radio may truly be en- joyed to better advantage amid the outdoor setting made possible in warm weather. The acoustics are frequently better when windows can be thrown open. Radio is at its best outdoors, on the porch, or even on the lawn. Indeed, too little attention has been paid to the stage setting for the radio presentation, and summer time offers us many an opportunity ! in this direction. the Next in the Pursuit of Radio | 2277777777777 777% I CC GRAND 7777777 THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, JUNE 28 and 29.

PATRONS CAN RAISE STAN- DARDS OF THE ROAD STANDS The present survey of roadside eat- ing stands by the restaurant hygiene section of the State Health Depart- ment, indicates improvement in the type of stand, according to Howard M. Haines, section chief. “It is evident, said Halnes, “that the public is constantly demanding higher standards of cleanliness, sanitation and general appearance. This attitude cou- pled with the Department's inspection and regulating power, has eliminated many of the poorer places and resulted in marked changes. for the better in still others. While conditions generally are satisfactory, demands for (clean places by patrons will still greatly as- sist in raising standards to a still high- er level. The department has done and will continue to do much, but the au- toist can do more.” CORRE nnn nm All Ready for “SOME” Fourth!
