EMPIRE RADIO LINK.
SCHEME TO ENCIRCLE THE GLOBE.
(FHOM OCR OWJT CORRESPONDENT,)
LONDON, November 27,
Details of a broadcasting scheme to link up the British Empire wero given by Mr G. L. Marshall, Glasgow Broadcasting Station Director, in an address to the Publicity Club. He said transmissions from Daventry would be received at Picton, New Brunswick, and conveyed across the Dominion by land line to Vancouver Island, where they would bo retransmitted to Fanning Island in the Pacific, and thence to Sydney. The signals would be relayed from Sydney to New Zealand, and simultaneously sent by land 'ine to Perth, thence to Bombay and eventually back to Keston, Kent, through a repeater station in Cyprus, thus encircling the globe. The scheme was, he thought, going to be put into operation, and would cost at least £1,000,000.
Mr Marshall added that he had no misgivings as to the future of broadcasting, believing it would go over to the new authority without any noticeable difference.
