EMPIRE BROADCASTING
HR MARCUSE'S EXPERIMENT
TEMPORARY BREAKDOWN IN PLANT. Press Association— By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, September 11. (Received September 12, at 11.30 a.m.) Fifty Australians, disregarding breakfast, sat in the Columbia gramophone studio watching the microphone and wondering whether Mr Marcuse’s first Empire broadcast was reaching Australia; then camo a breakdown. A condenser suddenly failed, causing the generator to blow out, and the plant, which' had hitherto stood the severest tests, was mute for fifty minutes. Jt was something of an achievement for Mr Marcuse and Ills two assistants to rig aa emergency supply ' from the public mains, but it necessitated the cutting down of the programme by half. As all the items were picked up by valve sets in the South of England, there are .strong hopes that most of them got through.
Mr Marcuse is undismayed. He say» that lie will continue pioneering, and i.s sanguine of ultimate success.
