. EUROPE TRIES NEW SEFIPIDEATOAY “Plan de Bruxelles” Was Worked Out After Three Months’ Consultations. After a little over three years of broadcasting under a plan formulated to eliminate chaos from the air shared by nearly three-score nations, Europe is placing on trial today a new set-up which will attempt to satisfy increased requirements in the broadcast band occasioned by this long period of air Zellcity. A number of European transmitters will readjust today their transmitters 16 the new frequencies handed to them by the technical committee of the Union Internationale de Radiophonie, A bureau in Geneva, Switzerland, with international jurisdiction over every broadcasting station in Europe. The “Plan de Bruxelles.” The new set-up is known “Plan de Bruxelles.” after more than three months of con- suitation among the leading technicians of the Continent. It was an outgrowth of the early plan called the “Plan de Geneve,” which was placed in operation in No- vember, 1926. There were about 80 stations broadcasting in Europe when the Radio Union was formed, follow- ing & meeting of the principal European nations in London, on March 18, 1925. Since this number has grown to twice the amount. Committee Studied Chaos. As soon as the union was formed, it get its technical committee to work on the chaotic condition obtaining in Europe at the time. There had been no organized international development of radio, stations having sprung up at the whim and fancy of each nation, with- out regard for the need, or the future. ‘With M. Braillard as its head, the committee worked out an allocation plan which was not unlike that followed by the Federal Radio Commission in this country several years later. It pro- vided that 99 bands should be made available within the broadcast fre- quency allotted to the broadcast serv- ices between 200 and 588.2 meters (1,500 to 510 kilocycles). Actually, these were divided between two groups, 83 ex clusive channels and 16 of them com- mon. Channels Reserved for Future. It was further decided that 28 chan- nels out of the 83 should be reserved for the future progress of the art, and that the 55 remaining ones would be shared by the nations according to a formula involving population, service, geographical formation and other fac- tors. as the Germany received 12 wave lengths, It was worked out | THE_SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON.

There is a delicate and intricate network of me- chanical and human concerns. It must function perfect. France and England 9 each. Italy, Spain, Sweden and Russia 5, and other countries in proportion. It was then possible for the technicians to place about 92 small, practically local stations, on the 16 common waves, there being not more than 10 stations on any one essignment. This worked very well for a time. During the last two years, however, some of the nations who were not ol inally interested in broadcasting devel- oped a sudden taste for it, and others that had taxed their facilities were looking for more frequencies. In fact, nations not provided for had not re- celved out of the reserve channels the best for their requirements, since the choicest wave bands were already dis- tributed. Long Waves Give Trouble. Besides, althouglt' the-technieal com- mittee had begun working on the long- wave situation as early as March, 1927, those frequencies were not considered in the original Geneva plan. Much in- terference developed in the higher wave lengths as well, due partly to the use of greatly increased power and the im- possibility to keep very close kilocycle separation at the low frequencies. In October of last year the technical :hmt::tue u(rt'.l‘u I;mon, as well as con- expe! Tom many i eountries, met in Brussels to Xor:l!hz @ new plan which would more ade- quately provide for good broadcasting 4n Europe. More data was at hand concerning broadcasting needs of Europe than 1926, when the union began to func- n. The committee, however, had to anticipate the new radio situation ex- isting as soon as the provisions of the International Radio Conference of ‘Washington were placed in full force on January 1, 1929. Problems Facing Committee. _Among other things, it had to con- sider the loss of three wave lengths in their broadcast band and the curtail- ment of long-wave broadcasting on ;rlves designed to other types of serve ces. It was found, then, that the chief problem was to find nine more fre- quencies above 300 meters and below };m;‘u?c)'(iles‘ :‘x’\«ihlllow ’for the three cles los e conferen v "”;r ln;u. ence above actically the committee followe: the basic idea of the first plan Ang decided that countries favored in the original set-up would have to give up {frequencies above 300 in favor of those nations worse off, and that the separa- tion between stations should be re- duced still more to allow placing ad- «:momx channels between adjacent sta- ions. Getting Additional Frequencies. Due to the greater stability and re- liabllity of modern transmitters, it was possible to drop the separation between stations from 10 to 9 kilocycles, in the spectrum above 300 meters. In this manner, five additional channels were gained. It was necessary to find four more. England and Germany were induced to exchange each one channel above 300 for a channel below that wave- length. By suppressing an international common channel of 400 meters (750 kilocycles), established by the commit- tee, an eighth channel was found. Then, by reducing the separation a small frac- tion on frequencies between 236 and 439 meters (1,270 and 613 kilocycles), & ninth channel was obtained. ‘This plan is frankly a compromise. It has gone further than the provisions of the Washington International Radio Conference. This means that a read- i‘:‘-‘lml‘nl will be necessary sooner or er. Work Outstagger Plan. Engineers believe that the 10 kilo- cycle separation although they talked of an eight kilo- cycle separation in 1925. They have carried out the stagger plan of assigning adjacent wave lengths, placing very close station frequencies as far apart, geographically, as possible. By this invention they hope to mini- mize difficulties under actual working conditions. They would rather have a 15-kilocycle limit, however. ‘There is also the long-wave situation, which concerns seven countries, and in which the separation problem is & greater one. Exactly how this new repartition of Buropean radio facilities will work out is still a question, and not even A. T. Burrows, the efficient secretary of the Union Internationale de Radiophonie can tell. It is being tackled with the same optimism that giuded the first plan, and there is eyery hope that it will be successful. Radio Distributers to Meet. BUFFALO, N. Y.

Has she been seized with appendicitis? One of the hostesses supplies the answer by returning from a cloakroom and handing something to the donna which instantly restores her. She had lost her powder puff. The girls all had powder puffs, but only her own would do. There had been a mad chase. Could one sing the “Erl Koenig” with a shiny nose? One certainly could not. The danger is past. | The prima donna steps to the micro- | phone and puts on a flawless perform- ance, 2 In concert singing and one thing or another I have been back- stage quite a lot, and I find the back stage of radio even more exciting than that of the theater, There is an uncanny quality in this projection of a song from a soundproof room out into millions of homes, which, veteran as I am in this business, always gives me something like a creepy feeling between the shoul- der biades. Peering through the thick glass of the inclosed mezzanine above there age usually a half dozen impassive faces. These visitors may be hearing the song from a loud speaker outside the studio, but somehow they seem- to be g[hostly faces looking in from another world. ‘The face of the monitor through the glass booth also seems cold and immo- bile, and the technicians and engineers also have this same look. In a theater one finds every one catching the mood of a performance and applause swells out spontaneously, The lack of ap- plause in a radio studio also gives one & queer, let-down fecling. I recall one artist. making her first appearance be- fore the microphone, who was so nerv- cusly upset by the absence of applause that she was unable to give an encore, although the telephone was bringing in demands that she sing again. ‘Wide Range of Stars. I suppose the radio studios of the National Broadcasting Co. bring to- gether from time to time the most widely assorted lot of distinguished per- sons who ever cngage in the same enter- prise or meet at the same place. There are divas, ‘prima donnas, ingeaues, preachers, explorers, artists, lecturers, actors, dramatists, vaudevillians, ora- tors, statesmen, Senators, saxophone wizards—in fact, exponents of every art or profession who have gained fame. T know of no other business or institu- tion which herds together such an as- semblage as this, Most, of these are sensible persons who have won their place by hard work and intelligence, and after they get over their firsé nervousness they acquire an easy, professional radio manner which keeps things running along smoothly. ~ Sometimes, however, we bump into a big load of temperament, | like all other impresarios, or we find | rome important person, cast somewhat the famous radio and recording quartet on_the Palmolive hour.

In spite of everything he took his usually statesmanlike stance and then started walking around the room,. bellowing an ! gestieulating. Radio ‘Set Him Down, The monitor was making frantic signs, which we knew meant that he was “blasting” and that the perform- ance in general was a mess. When he checked up afterward on the telephone calls and telegrams commenting on his speech he almost took the count and he began to concede that perhaps, after all, there was something to be learned “about radio.addresses. He did learn. In later appearances he carefully wrote out his speech, stood squarely before the microphone and throttled himself down to about half his normal lung power. Oddly enough, I found that in being thus disciplined by the “mike” he was a much simpler and more likable person. His strut- ting and shouting was just a sort of an occupatiopal disease that he had con- tracted in Mis years as a politician. After the eampaign last year a great deal was written, about radio debunking politics, the {déa being that it was much harder to strain the old hokum through the microphone. It is my observation that it is alst debunking a lot of the spotlight workers themselves—politicians and others. People in crowds get steamed up and a crowd performer is always expanding himself into a larger figure than he really is. The radio has a way of setting him down flat on his heels, and what he says or does has to ride on its merits. There are no help- ful tricks of gesture or eye-raising or personal mannerisms to help him out, (Copyright, 1929.)

BY C. E. BUTTERFIELD, Associated Press Radio Editor. Radio is officially elated about what it did in 1928 in the way of piling up dollars, Cold hard figures may not smatter much of the romantic, but this infant industry gets a lot of cheer out of them. In pawing through a mass of data gathered in a survey conducted by Radio Retailing the first plum pulled out bears the figure of $650,550,000 as the total sales for the year. Alongside of this is put $425,600,000 for 1927. Next in line is the fact that 2,550,000 factory-built sets were turned into $306,000,000, while the year before these figures were 1,350,000 sets and $168,- 750,000, Tube Sales Increase. So many réceivers put into use and replacements meant a tube supply that is almost staggering. The year saw 50,200,000 sold, for which the public paid $110,250,000. Again cDmDBflSD'_n is made with 41,200,000 tubes in 1927 at $67.300,000. : Loud speakers joined in the great outgo of radio material. Reproducers of all kinds totaled 2,460,000, sold for $66,400.000. An estimated 35,000,000 persons are classed as members of the radio audi- ence, against 26,000,000 in 1927. All types of sets now in use bear the census figure of 9,500,000. Batteries Fail to Gain. About the only thing that did not show an increase, and fo be expected because of the AC set, was the rale of Dbatteries. The drop was to $50,400.000 from $68,000,000 in 1927 and $80,000,~ 000 in 1926. A and B power units, stor- age batteries and chargers took & plunge also. In 1928 there was a business of $17,500,000 in these articles, a fall from $34,000,000 the previous year. Other accessories, including headphones, acrial equipment, etc., had a total outlay of $8,000,000, compared with $36,550,000 in 1927. = Available figures place the total parts business last year at $12,000,000, compared with $21,000,000 two years ago. ‘Exports took a jump along with most other things, going from $9,200,000 in 1927.to $10,907,000 in 1928.

In these “bulletins” he likes to tell others who have not been so success- ful in air fishing what he has done.

NEW YORK, January 19.—Central- ized radio, by which even hundreds of listeners under one roof can be Ade- quately accommodated, has been evolved by engineers. ntended to meet the needs of lis- teners in hotels and hospitals, the plan also works toward the elimination of the many aerials to be seen upon the city apartment houses, In the case of the hospital or hotel, with 1its transient listeners, the problem was one of supplying radio entertain- ment from a central receiver in suf- ficient variety and range of volume. In the case of apartment houses and hotels it was a question of suitable an- tenna and ground connections to care for many receivers. Mounted on Switchboard. The engineering staffs of the Radio Carporation of America and its asso- clate companies have developed equip- ment, described as “audio. centralized radio,” for hospital or hotel. It consists of units mounted in switchboard form., One receiver, with amplifying distribu~ tion equipment, constitutes one pro- gram or listening channel. As many as four channels may be installed to give a wide program choice. The central installation comprises a broadcast receiver, a monitoring speak- er panel, one to three amplifiers and a control panel. The receiver for each channvl is tuned to a given station and the dials locked. A time clock switch starts and stops the program at any designated hour. Wires carrying voice currents lead to outlets in rooms in all parts of the building. For apartment houses where listen- ers have their own receivers a singlé antenna supplies radio-frequency cur~ rent for all receivers in the building. The signals intercepted by the anténna are distributed by a suitable wiring system. Rivals Open Country. Replacing the dozens of separate aerials, a single antenna 50 to 75 feet above the roof is erected. Its short lead-in is brought to a battery of cen- tral coupling units. From each unit a line of metal conduit, inclosing radio- frequency cable, takes the signal into the building. In each apartment an ks BACKGROUND OF MODERN extension coupling unit transfers the RF energy to the receiver through a wall outlet. g Any type of aerial and ground set may be operated. Each receiver has an individual coupling tube and B clim- mator, which are built into the wall outlet. The distribution system does not pick up additional signals or interference, and its length has no influence on the wave length. Engineers say it gives re- ception that rivais -that in the open country. ‘The central coupling units, designed to prevent interaction between the re- ceivers, comprise coupling tubes and B eliminators. Each ‘“riser” or trans- mission line has a central coupling unit. ‘Ten réceiving set coupling units ma~ he placed on one “riser.” ’ RADIO TELEPHONY USE IN AIR SERVICE GAINS Expected to Réplace Telegraphy in Government Communication With Commercial Planes.
