LOOKING BACK ON RADIO
In the commemorative programmes to celebrate the BBC’s Silver Jubilee which took place during the autumn, one of the most interesting people of all was H. A. Hankey, who took part in the magazine programme "In Town. Tonight." He was in radio before broadcasting began and though the BBC started officially as the British Broadcasting Company on November 14, 1922, Mr. Hankey was, as he said, "up to his ears" in it in 1906. He recalled one of his first jobs "at the building of a station at Cullercoats at the mouth of the Tyne for signalling to ships, and later on I was in charge of a private cinema at the top of Marconi House... the place where British broadcasting was born." The cinema, he explained, was where he used to show visitors from all. over the wireless world pictures of radio equipment.
