When compared with the and wave gth of the main mitter WGG, at Tuckerton, wh |are, respectively. 200 Kw. and 15,900 { meters, the rtadical step is obvious; only one-tenth power is to be uged.

Radio experts belicve this commer- | ctal step is especially significant and that, with the development of short- wave transmitters and receivers, sufficient short-wave channels will be found for additional circuits of this type. Within the band %0 to meters the assigned wave lengths be placed much closer together | within longer wave band | Whether the corporation also will re- ceive on short waves is not known, but it is pointed out that it will probably have no trouble in span- & the Atlantic or reaching South America, receiving on the longer wave lengths until foreign short- wave stations are established. D Taylor of the Naval Radio Research Laboratory stated recently that with his 1%-Kw. short-wave transmitter at Bellevoe, D. C.. he has been heard inghouse experiment; { successful in short-wave transmission and abroad considerable progress has been made. The whole radio in- dustry is watching the practical op- eration of the type of station the R. C. A. is about to open. This new transmitter will be coupled into the radio net operated from New York City. A short time ago the writer visited 64 Broad wtreet, the led “Radio center of the world.” probably justly named, since this single roof, direct com- munications to seven distant coun- tries are transmitted simultancously, while radiograms from 13 foreign stations may be copicd at the same instant. No other station is capable of handling such heavy trafic. “It is a constant fight against time," Supervisor W. A. Winterbottom de- clared, describing the 24-hour daily operation. Of course, the apparatus is operat- ed by remote control, land lines lead- ing to the seven suburban transmit- ters, and, similarly, wires bring in the messages picked up at central re- ceiving stations at Riverhead, Long Island. Within the operation room there are two banks of desks. At seven of them, men operate automatic typ writer keyboards, which perforate a tape with holes corresponding to let- ters, the tape then being fed into the transmitting apparatus. At the other desks a dozen or 13 men are receiving messages {rom as many points; they hear the code from sounders, but a the same time the messages are | recorded on paper tapes by a waving link line, which designates the dots nd duslies of the code, enabling them read both by éar and eve.
