BROADCAST FROM AIR
Trunk Air Service Opening By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, January 13. When the trunk air service is inaugurated on Wednesday a broadcast of a type completely new to the Dominion will be carried out from the cabin of the air-liner waking the flight. A commentator in the machine will describe its progress at frequent intervals from Palmerston North to Dunedin. Speeches before the machine leaves will be broadcast from the ground. As soon as the aeroplane takes off the announcer in the machine will begin. One of the two wireless transmitters with which each of the machines is fitted will be used, and the signals will be picked up by the Broadcasting Board’s engineers and relayed through 2YA and, if conditions permit, through the other national stations. The schedule for the rebroadcasts is: 2 p.m., 2.15, 2.45, 3.15, 3.30, 4.15, 4.45, 5.15, 6.10.
