BY MARTIN CODEL. “Wired radio” will make its debut in Cleveland early in 1929. This was learned definitely today from C. W. Hough, ident of Wired Radio, In a subsidiary of the North American Co, of the Stone & Webster public utility group. ‘Three power substations in Cleveland are now being equipped for transmitting entertainment programs by radio waves directed along the power lines that ex- tend into the homes served by those stations.. The studios of broadcasting station WTAM-WEAR, in which the North American Co. is now revealed as a substantial stockholder, will probably be used by the talent. This is to be the first stage ln the introduction into many cities of "wired radio” programs sent into homes along the ‘power lines. Mr. Hough declared that a special socket plug-in receiving set will be furnished customers for this service at a normal monthly rental. Those preferring to use their regular radio receiving sets and loud speakers will be able to cbtain a device that will attach to such sets and be able to turn in the “wired” in addition to the “space” radio. After the Cleveland experiment the North American Co. may extend the service to the other cities in which it operates. © One of the largest of the power groups, it has subsidiaries mainly in Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Wis- consin, Michigan and California. Their operations embrace more than 700 com- munities, with a population exceeding 5,500,000, and includine such cities as St. Louis, Milwaukee, Racine, San Fran- cisco and Oakland. ‘The North American Co. also has| substantial investments in the Detroit Edison Co. and the Washington Raflway & Electric Co. of the District of Co- | lumbia. . Serving more than 1,000,000 custom- ers with power and light, this giant concern has seen the possibility of fur- nishing those customers with entertain- ment also. It insists that it is entering this fleld as an adjunct to radio rather than as a competitor. It is known, how- ever, that an effort some time ago to consolidate “wired radio” or to obtain & working agreement with one of the largest radio groups failed to mate- ize. Wired Radio, Inc, besides having gathered up some 600 patents in the six years of its existence, has had agents scouring the world for musical material. _They have been signing scores of contracts for “copyright rights” and entering into agreements with the key people controlling enter- tainment talent. The millions already spent on patents and musical copy- rights, the great amount ready to pour into premotion and the tremendous financial resources of the North Ameri- can Co. augur the serious entrance of “wired radio” into a new created field. The invention of "wired radio” is at- tributed to Gen. George O. Squier, U. 8. A., retired, war-time chief of the Army Signnl Corps. Gen. Squier found that low frequencies, or long waves, could be directed along power or telephone wires without interfering with the transmis- sion of electricity or conversation or with other wireless services. The advantage claimed over broad- casting is that “wired radio” is free from the variables of “space radio.” This means that programs received in this way do not suffer from static fading. heterodyning, skip-distance ef- fects, day and night variations and the | many other troubles of radio. A whole new range of frequencies, fully as great as the range of broadcast waves, can | be used and kept under control in a way | that ordinary radio cannot. At the receiving end either the spe- | clally built set can be plugged into the | house wires or the pick-up device plugged in and attached to an ordinary radio receiving set. The set invented by Gen. Squier is called the “Monophone,” the word meaning “one-way telephone.” It is a three-tubs outfit. one a detector and two stages of audio. It is tuned into a particular program by the mere press- ing of a button. ‘Three or four programs will be of- fered initially, but it is claimed that many more can be carried along the path of the wires. The wide range of frequencies opens up the prospect that when television arrives it will be re- ceived into homes by means of “wired radio,” on account of the scarcity of | ether wave lengths and the multitudi- | nous distortions and variations that a visual signal would suffer after travel- ing through the air.
