BRITISH INDUSTRY’S WIN

An important success for British industry has been secured by Marconi’s Wireless Telegi'aph Company, Limited, 'which has been successful in obtaining one of the largest orders given of recent years in connection with broadcasting services. This order is for a large extension of the Polish broadcasting organisation, which, following the British example, is to be remodelled so as to provide alternative programmes for the greater part of the country. The new equipment will comprise a 120-killowatt aerial input broadcasting transmitter with full modulation, two high-power regional stations with a 16-kilowatt aerial input, and three local relay stations. The new installations will be of the most modern and up-to-date type, both as regards technique and design. The 120-kilowatt station will be situated near Warsaw, and will be used in addition to the 12-kiiowatt M- -e-l station at present there. The two stations will be employed siu-u.-uu-eously for the transmission of alternative programmes. The two new 16-kilowatt stations will be situated at Lemberg and Vilna, to provide programmes for the areas outside the range of the lower-powered station at Warsaw. Of the three local relay stations, ofie will be situated at Lodz. When the work is completed, it is confidently anticipated that Poland will possess one of the most modern and efficient broadcasting services in the world.
