WIRELESS IN COURT
A wireless "sergeant-major" has this year replaced the soldier, with the stentorian voice who' has hitherto been on duty at the Courts at Buckingham Palace. The sergeant-major stood in the hall after the presentations, and called out the names of the people as their ears arrived at the door. These names had to be telephoned from the courtyard in which the cars were parked, and confusion often arose. The sergeant-major will be replaced by a Marconiphone amplifying system, which is to be installed at the entrance to the inner courtyard. As the cars approach the palace the names of the owners will be whispered into a microphone and broadcast 'throughout the hall by loud, speakers in the ceiling.
