All About New 2Y A — Mr. Searle on Broadcasting Stations

All About New 2Y A

Mr. Searle on Broadcasting Stations.

During his presidential address on "The Service Area of Broadcasting Stations," Mr. Searle must have covered several miles during his lecture, as he operated the apparatus which was spread over some fifteen feet of bench, put magazines in the Balopticon, turned the light on and off, and delivered the address, all at the same time. In spite of a somewhat pessimistic estimate of 78 miles for the service area of the new 2Y A, his lecture was carefully prepared, was relatively easy to understand, and was illustrated by a collection of most expensive-looking apparatus (kindly loaned by the P. & T.). Mr. Searle covered everything from decibels to interferenc, and from crystal sets to the new 2YA, and was accorded a hearty vote of thanks. After some discussion, the meeting adjourned to an excellent supper kindly provided by Mrs. Miles.
