PLAN PROGRESSING - FOR RADIO MUSEUM Smithsonian Aids Movement as Search for Valued Pieces Is On. Radio’s “hall of fame,” hitherto s figurative something, is becoming an actuality as plans for the creation of a permanent radio museum progress. Under the leadership of the Smith- sonian Institution, the American radio| world for industry is combing the historical original apparatus having significance. is reserved for the “radio museum,” i which will be depicted for posterity the | twentieth century's greatest gift to mankind. But several years ust elapse before the necessary materifl can be collected. ‘The sponsors of the project are mak- ing haste, for it is urgent that word be broadcast of the enterprise so that the apparatus having great historical value, but no practical use, will not be dis- posed of. Consequently the Smith. sonian. along with other Federal agen- cles identified with radio and the in- dustry, is taking stock of the radio art from its advent in 1890 to the end of the World War. Time Elemeat Important. G. W. Mitman, curator of mechanical | technology of the Smithsonian, who is | directing the project, points out that the time element is of vast importance because large amounts of the very radio material being sought are obsolete and stored ‘warehouses. Government agencies having such stocks plan to | cared for, a permanent committee will dkgnofmu“!\mk"ume-n- claimed by Federal action. Moreover, says Mr. Mitman, it is of utmost importance to obtain authentic records of radio developments while the scientists who pioneered in them are yet alive. Marconi, De Forest, Fessen- den and others are still active in the art. Assisting Mr. Mitman is an informal committee of Government radio officials and representatives of the industry. Once the preliminary matters have been be established, comprising Government as well as industrial personnel. A large | contributor to the project is the Radio corpontlon of America. It has offered its comprehensive collection of histori- cal radio paraphernalia as a nucleus for the museum, through George H. Clark, its historian. The R. C. A. also has of- fered to lease to the Smithsonian, at nominal rental, storage space for the | general collection, from which could be picked the main exhibit. Search for Original Pieces. Although a general search is being initiated in foreign nations for original in England. It was in that country where wireless actually was develope under Senator Marconi. ‘The museum collection is bein ited to the end of the war, so that it ' will not include broadcasting. To at- tempt to cover broadcasting, television, facsimile transmission and other modes of radio contact’ developed thereafter would be too large a task at this time, Mr. Mitman asserted, but it is plannes after the first collection is completed, to make an independent survey of broad- casting and its related techniques.
