Show Radio Development "I never thought I would live to coax a grand organ recital out of something about twice as large as a cigar box," says George Ade. That sentence well expresses the amazing development of. radio in this country during the last few years. It is typical of the way American business develops, something the public wants. At first it was necessary to string wires on top of your house, fool around with three or four dials and have unsightly batteries, wires and loud speakers in your home. But the newest sets have aerial, no batteries, visible or invisible, one dial control and everything contained in one beautiful cabinet that makes an attractive piece of furniture. But radio development is far from perfection.. It is almost certain that still more amazing changes will be made. It may be only a short time until the music of the famous cathedrals of Europe or the sing-song melodies of the orient will be heard by the Kansas farmer whenever he wishes to turn on the radio. |
