RADIO ON FERRIES
EXPERIMENT BY COMPANY PASSENGERS ENTERTAINED Passengers across the harbour to Devonport by the ferry steamer Makora will be entertained in future by radio. Experiments yesterday afternoon proved very satisfactory said may result in the scheme being extended to -other boats run by the Devonport Steam Ferry Company. The afternoon and evening con certs will be received from station IYA on a crystal set in the captain’s cabin, and an amplifying and loud-speaking system will distribute the music throughout the upper deck and cabins. The string trio which entertained passengers in past years has been disbanded, but there is a possibility of other musicians playing on the boats during the early afternoons if tha radio receiving system is not extended. The apparatus was installed oa the Makora when she was in dry dock last week.
