Racfib Is Greatest Modem Miracle
When you stop to think of it, the of course, on how successfully radio
most wondei-ful thing in the world isU*^**^* be senw -ut from the- mov
ing train and picked up along the
radio communication. Young folks of
today have grown up among so many
modem mirac-les that they don’t real

few years ago, tn-fore there was any,

line; the reception of broadcasts on a
train is a simple enough m^b-r, but
the experiment which was carried out
between Washington and Baltimore
was to find out whether radio would
1 have seen all of these things come
about in my owm lifetime, and to me
the most miraculous of all of them is
radio.
It is literally true that there is no
place the human being can go and not
keep in toiK-h w'ith the re.st of the
world if he so desires. Few people,
outside of technical experts, realize
the strides that have be<*n made in
the last two or thr<*e years in the so-
calh-d “short wave” radio bmadi-ast-
ing. There is literally no distance that
cannot U* spanned by the short waves,
for they travel completely around the
earth wnihout any difficulty at all.
The radio short waves arc not affeet-
«*d by atmo.spheric cianditions to any
thing like-: the extenp that longer
waves arc, and ingenious methods
have been devised whereby short
waves are picked up by radio .stations,
converted inttj long waves and re-
A Baltimore and Ohio din ng ear
was stripped ^its tables and convert
ed into a broadcasting studio. Heavy
j curtains were hung all around the car
to absorb any echo. Two grand pianos
were installed at one' end and Jack
Denny’s tw-elve pie<*e orchestra, with
Belle Baker as the vocal soloijjU put
on a half-hour short wave bro^ast
program. The short ‘waves were pick
ed up at a temporarily equipped re
ceiving station at Layrel, Maryland,
from which they were ti^ansmitted to
.station WCAU, where they were au-
tonsatkally rebroadcast and were
picked up by folks who had their re
ceiving sets tuned in for that station
as readily as if the program was be
ing iuroadcaet right there in the sta
tion studio. Not because it w*as neces-
aary, bpt for the sake of impressing
listeners with the fact' that the pro
gram was coming from a moving
train, one of the microphones w'.aa
hung out of the car window to pick

“.\ny railroad man will tell you that
nothing could bo more useful in rail
road operation than some simple
means w'hcreby the train dispatchers
at junction points along the line could
