Radio Was the Future To The Men Of Yesterday
From the Top Topics of Yesterday and Today Series we gaze at the world at the actual moment commercial radio was being birthed. Radio broadcasts out of those long finished golden times are solely at present reaching the Planet xXlirngy within the star system Mongul 92 light years distant. The reasoning at the back of our pick is two-fold. Radio played a crucial job in our nation’s history. Next, for a spell, it virtually faded away in the 1980’s. Followed by, inside the late 80’s with the advent of talk radio, it flourished once again, and yet again plays a crucial part within the present American thought process. The next reason we take a peep back is that in modern times at what time we think, to one degree or the other that all technology is behind us, it really is refreshing to look on a period when a ground breaking technology was all in front of us. The reports have been craftily re-edited, but the essence is still in evidence. The whole thing, as well as the adverts below came from the pages of the at that moment prosperous but at the present very gone New York Tribune in April of 1922, a vastly good radio year. Possibly the next wave will be Facebook of the Air starring Rush On Facebook.
Flying Cleric to Preach the Gospel Out of Sky by Radio
Lieutenant Maynard, of Transcontinental Air Race Fame, to Preach While Piloting for Legion
Lieutenant Belvin W. Maynard, the “flying parson,” who made aeronautical history 2 years before in the transcontinental flights, will preach the original sermon ever broadcasted through radiophone from the sky this afternoon below the sponsorship of the American Legion.
Maynard will pilot a five-passenger Fokker monoplane over Hazelhurst Field, NY throughout the demonstration.The plane has been specially fitted with a 50-watt radiophone transmitter, which ought to be heard under regular conditions over a distance of one hundred fifty miles. The journey will commence at 3 o’clock this afternoon.
The machine will ascend to an altitude of 5,000 feet, and next Maynard will shut off the motor next position the monoplane into a soft spiral whilst he provides the sermon by way of the mouthpiece hooked to his helmet. In this style the noise from the motor will not in any fashion interfere with comprehensible reception.
The novel try out is being made in conjunction with the campaign of the American Legion for $2,500,000 to build and equip a veterans’ mountain camp in the Adirondacks designed for tubercular sufferers and other convalescents who have been hurt in the war.
The sermon will be broadcasted on wave-length of 507 meters, which will be within the span of all the short wave receiving units at this instant being used by radio buffs. Maynard states there will be no collection at the ethereal church service, however he hopes that persons who are his flock will transmit their assistance toward the H.Q. of the veteran fund within the Hotel Astor.
In addition to the sermon to-day flights will be completed during the week by Maynard, and since the airplane is capable of hauling four passengers in addition to the pilot it will be possible to take up that number of entertainers, who will sing or play over the aeronautical transmitter.
It is hoped that one or two nighttime flights will be feasible, so that the breadth of reception will be greatly amplified above the common daylight range.

England Stirring to Charms Of the Radiophone at Last
Aviatrix Has “Extraordinary Permit” From British Authorities to Express Ethereal Music in Struggle to Urge More Liberal Rules
By Waive B. Wells From The Tribune’s European Bureau
LONDON, April 15.-The first radio concert ever given within this kingdom will take place at the Aeolian Hall here Thursday. It has been arranged by Florence Parbury, adaptable woman aviator, musician as well as artist, who of late flew to Holland in her personal airplane to make studies in wireless telephony for the transmission of music played at The Hague. She is the only lady associate of the Wireless Society, and has been given an “extraordinary permit” through the Postmaster General to hold Thursday’s demonstration.
That London should just at this time be hearing its initial radio live concert, and that individual consent should be obligatory to present it. exhibits how far at the back England is in the radio game as compared with the United Stales. England, then again, is beginning to grasp that, not only the United States, but also Continental nations, are leaving her with a lot of leeway to make up in wireless things. Holland, for instance, the location of Florence Parbury’s studies in transmission, is nowadays broadcasting news daily and has a regional information service in which Stock Exchange quotations figure.
An agitation is being set on foot at this time critical of the “pettifogging restrictions” that, it is, charged in radio circles here, are accountable for hampering the amateur pursuit of wireless. In contrast to the hundreds, of thousands of amateurs operating in the United States, there are just something between 7,000 and 8.000 amateurs here, it is estimated.

Amateurs Appeal to France
By Waive B. Wells From The Tribune’s European Bureau
It is claimed that amateurs can’t acquire practice, plus that the verity that wireless, if not fettered, would be as admired here as anywhere has been proved by means of current experience. A few radio societies lately approached Eiffel Tower with an demand that it must transmit intended for the assistance of British amateurs. In reaction to this petition General Ferrie, of the Eiffel Tower station, has transmitted a great deal, and the outcome has been an instant increase in the number of amateurs using receiving sets.
“As the Post office pleads that less restrictions would set off ‘disturbance.’ ” affirms a radio authority here, “it is fascinating that amateurs call into service a especially mighty station capable of greater ‘disturbance.’ ” The view held in radio circles at this juncture is that the Post office is not responsible in the question of restrictions, but that they are a buffer between the public employ of wireless and the old school notions of navy, army, and air force authorities.
While facilities designed for receiving are restricted enough, the problems of getting transmitting authorization is immense, and even if it is obtained there are the closest restrictions as to what one can do. The fortunate recipient of such, a authorization can not exceed ten watts, or one-seventy-sixth of a horsepower, and can’t, hence, transmit very far. On the other hand, the United States resident, by way of the one and a 3rd horsepower allowed him, has a sporting ability of speaking to Europe.
Radio amateurs here, however, are in hopes that better times are coming to them. The topic has been taken up in Parliament, where Sir Douglas Newton, who has had radio equipment in his quarters for the previous, fifteen years, has this week questioned the Postmaster General. Sir Douglas Newton inquired if he was prepared substantially to modify and loosen up, at an early date, the existing regulations, and if he would allow the broadcasting daily of communication likely to do good to trade and industry, or of general public interest. In rejoinder the Postmaster General said that the entire problem was being referred to the Imperial Communications Committee, so that the views in the departments concerned could be provided as early as possible. He added that he was himself entirely sympathetic with the idea.

Radio Corporation Year Report Shows Large Growth of worldwide Radio Communication; Broadcasting Demands Now Being Met
The popular favor into which radio has sprung plus the tremendous strides it is making all the way through the world since broadcasting was perfected are brought out in the annual report of the Radio Corporation of America to its stockholders made public last week.
“The year 1921,” the report reads, “was fundamentally devoted to rising the efficiency and size of our existing communication channels and to extending, through present European reporters, connections with other countries by wire telegraph, and so there has been provided indirect service to practically the full world, except South America.”
As the result of the erection of radio telephone broadcasting stations inside different areas of the United States the Radio Corporation reports a very great, order for radio telephone receiving apparatus.
“The demand,” the report states, “came up very much immediately so no apparatus had been developed which lent itself to quantity assembly. Radio as an art is advancing very briskly, owing to the unbroken research that has been carried on. Apparatus embodying the most modern advancements and of a character suited for broad use has now been developed for manufacture in considerable quantities, and it is assumed by the representatives of the firm that the call, great though it may be. will shortly be filed.”
Radio communication with ships is swiftly being developed, according to the statement, contemporary assessments showing that it is feasible to exchange a few words between ships and seashore over a span of 400 miles, at the same time as radiograms have been received by ocean liners 2,500 and 3,000 miles away.
The Radio Corporation maintains six marine radio stations meant for this service, which supply daily reports, public news of the positions of ships at sea and. in co-operation with the United Slates Public Health Service and the Seamen’s Church Institute, at no cost medical guidance for mariners.
