Millions of dollars have been invested in broadcasting equipment with as many millions more spent by the lis- teners In the early days nearly every set- owner was a set builder. This condition was due partly to the fact that commer- cial receivers were difficult to obtain and partly because the mere ownership of a set was not sufficient. The natural mechanical strain in most Americans asserted itself through the medium of the screwdriver and other tools. This construction desire has been | more or less sated and the number of listeners possessing factorv-built sets is | growing annually. While the experi- | menter continues at his task his job is | becoming more and more intricate. The new railroad in New South Wales has cut the distance between Sydney | and_Broken Hill 708 miles.
