RADIO PHOTO SERVICE
PICTURES OF ROYAL WEDDING From Our Own Reporter WELLINGTON, November 19. The overseas radio photo service will be opened for commercial business to-morrow. Preliminary tests of the equipment and circuits have proved successful and negotiations on rates and schedules with the British and Australian authorities have been completed. The service will function as a normal post office service. It will be opened provided radio conditions are sufficiently good in time to carry inward photographs of the Royal wedding. “The Royal wedding affords an historic occasion for the opening of the service and we can only hope that radio conditions, which are sometimes fickle over long distances, will be sufficiently good to enable the public of New Zealand to see good radio pictures of the wedding only a few hours after the event,” said the PostmasterGeneral (Mr F. Hackett) to-day. The rates, which vary according to size, are:—Australia, £3 6s 8d for smaller sized pictures, and £6 5s 9d for larger-sized; United Kingdom, £6 5s for smaller sizes, and up to £l3 15s for larger sizes.
