Broadcasts From Airplanes?
Network broadcasts from airplanes
are expected to become a special
function of the Canadian Broadcast-
ing Corporation as a result of a suc-
cessful test flight made over Ottawa
last week. The CDC, which for some
time has been considering the possib-
ilities of this type of 'broadcasting,
has the co-operation of the Canadian
IFlyingClub •Association whose new
' Waco cabin plane, equipped with a
modern 30 -watt transmitter, will be
one of a similar type to be Placed at
iii6,1he disposal of the Corporation. The
Mir flight, daring which a two-way con-
versation was carried on at an alti-
tude of 4,000 feet from the plane to
tORIQO, via the short-wave receiving
station near Britannia, and broadcast
locally, lasted half an hour and, des-
pite the presence cif a series of storms,
was considered entirely satisfactory.
'The broadcast was handled by R.
T. 'Bowman, of the Corporation's
program department and the plane.
which is under the supervision of
George 'M. Ross, executive secretary
of the Canadian Flying Club ,Asso-
ak ciation, was piloted by Sydney Nes-
bitt, well-known avia tor and special
flying representative of "Canadian
Aviation."
j� Wave Bands Get Mixed
"' A freak in broadcast transmission
of :particular signiligance to nten'lbere
of the annual ,government patrol into
the eastern Arctic, was revealed to
your corre ponelent by J. •Frank
Willis, .special CDC representative
aboard the R. M. S. "Naacopie" dur-
ing a two-way conversation between
Ottawa and Lake Haribotrr. Willlis,
whose voice was heard very clearly
despite the thousand and then some
pules separating tis, said that while
Major MciKeand, head of' the expedi-
tion, was listening to a BBC dranle-
t'izatidn of the exploits 01 St. .John
-Franklin, transmission bands 'became
mixed and ceesed composite •reeep-
tioo-ih of the programs and our own
chinning. 'Trite fact. 'tlhat the two
broadcasts were being -received . on
the sante band was not unusual in it-
self, but the fact that ,the BBC broad-
cast was embracing the, adventures of
an explorer who had traversed to
some extent the same route .being ta-
ken by the 'iNascolpie", was con;id-
ered an anusual coincidence. Willis
who with Roy Cahoon, of the OBC
engineering department, is masking
the voyage into the Arctic to investi-
gate broadcasting .possi'bilitiesfrom
far -northern points reported .that the
expedition was thus far successful
and that all were well aboard ship,

MARCONI
Senator Gngliehno Marconi, who
passed on at .Route on 'Tuesday, July
20, was the inventor of the wireless
telegraph an•d the inventor or devel-
oper of tlutneroeis applications• of itis
basic idea, such as directed beam
wireless, microwave or .ultra short •
wave radio, and the !first commercial
wireless service across the Atlantic,
:Marconi had bees an active sup-
porter of the .Fascist regime in Iitaaty
and at the time of his pausing held
the presidencies of the Academy of
Italy and the national research coun-
cil. The Marquis :Luigi Solari, head
of the Italian Marconi Company,- the
mtento•r's biographer .and life'lo'ng
friend, said that ;Marconi had 'pl'an-
ned to spend the summer aboard his
yacht Elettra conducting experiments
in adapting the microwave to. long
range transmission. He was working
on three different developments of
the laws he discovered:: 'television, es-
pecially with the use of ultra short
waves; further developments of 'the
microwave; and a new type radio
transmitter for airplanes.
GGugliehmo '.Marconi was born in.
Bologna, dtaly, April " 215, 111,8174. His
father ,was Giuseppe Marconi, a
hanker, and' hi)S mother .Sone ?Jame-
son; of Irish ,birth.
'Marconirs father 'wished bin to 'be-
come a •musician 'but the boy show-
ed ,idttle interest M this direction, A's
a boy, he 's'tntlied and experimented in
the..field of physics, especially elec-
tricity. He studied at the University
of Bologna,
.After ^ 115 Sdiscgvery of the practic-
ability :611 wireless transmission, he
went to England and carried on fur-
ther experiments. there.
In 11905 he succeeded hi sending
messages from Cornwall to the Itsle
of Wight, a distance of 3180 miles.
The same year he transmitted aoross
the Atlantic, from lPoldhu, ICorn'wa•11,
to St. 'John's, .Newfoundland.
The first extensive application of
wireless telegraphy was in ship -to
-ship and ship -to -shore communica-
tion, Its value as a saver df lives and
property was soon demonstrated in '
the sinking of the liner Republic 'bg
the Italian ship Florida in a fog off
Nantucket on Jan.. 23, 41909, The pas-
sengers and
pas-sengers'and crew 01 the sinking ves-
sel were rescued with only six fatal-
ities, A yecond and more dramatic in-
cident came in tie sinking of the ^Ti-
tanic in 19112; The •survivors,:'finding
that Marconi was in New .York, went
to his hotel to cheer itim,
During the World War, ,Mar'co.ni
served in the Italian army and later
as a commander in the navy, He
earned greater fame as a diplomat;
serving on the Italian •Contmissioit 'to
the United States and as a plenipot-
entiary in the negotiations of the
peace treaty :between Italy and Aus-
tria and Bldg -aria.
Marconi' established the first cani-
mercial wireless communications be-
tween Hurdpe and America in 51907.
His right to basic 'patents has been
upheld by numerous courts.
In recent years, tMarconi has de-
voted himself to research under the .
tFascist regime. .Premier Mussolini
appointed him president of the "na-
tional council of research in 111928 and
of the Royal Academy of Italy in •
1930. :During the -application of Sanc-
tions at the time of the Ethiopian
War, Marconi and the research coun-
cil constituted a first line of economic
defense for Italy.
The inventor has :been showered
with honors. In 1909 he was, togeth-
er with ;Professor Braam, awarded
the iN''obel (Prize in physics.
