A HUGE -adio display, the most comprehensive that has yet been staged in Australia, opened recently at Sydney. Almost every radio manufacturing company in Australia has co-operated to make this exhibition completely representative of the many recent advances in the most romantic of modern industries, wireless telegraphy. A feature of the display is the miniature broadcasting studio, which is completely glassed-in to prevent any possibility of sound interference. SINCE the Australian Broadcasting Company commenced operations at 3LO and 3AR it has conducted 8122 auditions or tests in its. continual quest for new artists for the broadcasting programmes. These tests take place almost every day under the direction of William G. James, and an-elaborate loudspeaker system is installed threughout the administrative offices of 83LO in order that the manager, studio manager. and proagramme directors may hear the tests and select any voice that is suitable or shows promise with training of becoming suitable for broadcasting.
