WIRELESS TRAIN.
BRITAIN’S FIRST INSTALLATION. MUSIC FROM SIX COUNTRIES RECEIVED. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received Jan. 26, 2.32 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 25. The first British wireless train, specially equipped with a superheterodyne receiver frame, aerial and twenty loud speakers, was run under the auspices of the Great Western Railway. The Radio Society, while the train was journeying from Bristol to Cardiff, enabled every passenger to fieai music from six different countries, including San Sebastian, one thousand miles distant. A steel bridge and the four mile Severn tunnel were the only obstacles causing a complete fading out of the signals, which recovered full strength half a mile inside tlie Cardilf end of the tumiei. While the tram was stationary at Bristol station, it heard dance music from Pittsburg.— Svii:iev Sun Cables.
