Tho British Broadcasting Corporation has published a booklet entitled “The Empire Broadcasting Service,” whicn traces tho history of tho rise ?nd development of Empire broadcasting since tho establishment of an experimental station at Chelmsford, Essex in 1927, to its supersession by a permanent station at Daventry, Northamptonshire, in December last. The booklet gives a comprehensive explanation of the technical requirements for an Empire service, with a detailed description of the station at Daventry. Listeners overseas will be interested in the section of the booklet dealing with the considerations which influenced the choice of hours for broadcasting to car-h of the five zones into which the Empire has been divided for technical purposes. The suggestions on reception contained in “The Empire Broadcasting Service” will appeal especially to the many listeners who have sought advice on the typo of equipment with which they should provide themselves in order to receive the Empire transmissions. The booklet describes receivers for direct listening, short-wave adaptors for existing receivers and receivers for use in tropical climates, and contains hints on the choice of a suitable short-wave receiver. Equally as important as those matters are the suggestions directed to listeners in the scattered outposts of tho Empire who are faced with such problems as the recharging of accumulators and the securing of high tension batteries when the nearest supply stores is probably several days’ journey distant. Many listeners, too, will, no doubt, appreciate the hints on the so lection of aerials and on earth connections. “The Empire Broadcasting Service” is obtainable on application to the British Broadcasting Corporation, Broadcasting House, London, England.
