RADIO IN BRITISH TRAIN
MUSIC OF SIX COUNTRIES PASSENGERS DELIGHTED. (Sydney “Sun" Cable.) LONDON, January 25. The first Bnjtish wireless train specially equipped with a super-heterodyne receiver and frame serial and 20 loudspeakers, under the' auspices of the Great Western Railway Radio Society, while going from Bristol to Cardiff, enabled every passenger to hear the music of six European countries, including San Sehastian (Spain), 1000 miles distant. A steel bridge and the four-mile Severn Tunnel were the only obstacles, these causing a complete fade-out, but signals of full strength were heard half a mile inside the Cardiff end of the tunnel. While stationary at Bristol Station, the passengers heard Pittsburg dance music.
