The master clock which ticked off his higher destiny hung in the plant of the Westinghouse company in Pittsburgh. It was a highly reputable old clock, but Mr. Conrad didnt altogether trust it. He and another employee made a bet as to which had the more accurate watch, through a week of Mr. Conrad refused to accept the decision of the office clock. In an unused garage near his home at Wilkinsburg, he rigged a crude receiving apparatus to catch time signals from the naval station at Arlington, Va. He caught them, but he also caught some added starters which he could not at first explain. Employing a primitive directionfinding device, he located them as apparently springing from a slag heap about a block away. He didnt find the source there, but he did find it a few steps farther on with one John Coleman, among the lonely impresarios of the first feeble birth cries of radio. That was in 1912. Mr. Conrad incidentally won the bet on his $5 watch against its $40 rival, but he forgot all about mere time signals. He and Coleman teamed their researches and began filtering ghostly phonograph recordings through the intervening slag heap. The rest is an old story the historic KDKA Harding broadcast.
