Show WATCHES OF TOMORROW WILL TALK Atomic visions of the future dropped into the background of long--range world considerations this week but radio had filled the gap with a promise that watches of tomorrow will talk, forecast the weather, and give baseball scores. The promise came from Electronic Elec-tronic Time, Inc., a New York corporation which has just applied for a radio frequency for1 operating operat-ing a service which will perform almost as many fabulous functions func-tions for man as cne highly potential po-tential atom. Add to the capacities of an ordinary or-dinary pocket watch the ability to follow news headlines around the world and some conception is formed of what this firm proposes propos-es to offer for the very nominal cost of from $5 to ?15. Describing its system as the only new time-telling method devised de-vised in several centuries, the company plans to market small radio receivers in two classes. One, battery operated, will be half the size of a package of cigarettes cig-arettes and will take the place of a watch in the customer's pocket. The other will be a desk model, plugged in on electric sources, and replacing the conventional desk model clock. |
