Elaborate Radio Installation
HE most comprehensive wireless equipment afloat is carried by the new Canadian Pacific liner Iimpress of Canada, which made its first Atlantic crossing last May. . Programmes from both sides of the Atlantic were picked up, amplified, and reproduced through a -loudspeaker system extending throughout the ship. The cabin in which the receiving equipment is located resembles the control room of a modern broadcasting station, with the main amplifier, short-wave programme reception set, switchboards, motor-generator, double-turntable electric gramophone, and microphone for "local announcements," In addition to the daily broadeast of world programmes received on the short-wave set, the loudspeakers will also be used to broadcast coneerts and dance music played by the various orchestras. Microphone points have been installed in the ballroom, main lounge, and dining saloon, and through the amplifier system music from those rooms can be made available all over the ship.
