BROADCAST NEWS
40,000 “USTENERS-IN.” Forty thousand “listerens-in,” it is estimated, participated in the first broadcasting of copyright news bulletins from Marconi House, London. In a small room at the top floor of Marooni House, Mr Arthur Burrows, the operator, simply spoke into an ordinary table telephone to which wires were attached leading to the transmitting room. Here wireless apparatus took up the hound waves, converted them into suitable wireless wnv« lengths, and transmitted them to the aerial upon the roof of Marconi House, from whence the voice was broad-casted into space. “Everything passed off quite successfully,” waß Mr Burrows’s comment.
