Th.o counter poise, supportod by the two poles, spreading In a fan position, contains eight wires, tho outside ends of which nro spaced approximately 18 feet apurt, the Ic&dln bolng taken from tho center. 13oth the antenna and counter polso aro heavily Insulated, pro venting any loss of energy from tho station whllo In oporatlon. erally connected to a Western Elec tric, power ampliflor and loud talkor. A break In system of oporatlon is used, which makes it possible to station is transmitting, Tho thrc6 hear any station calling whllo tho switches directly undor tho receiv ing set control tho filament current for the receiving set, and tho plate voltago. Western Electric phones ore used with good succeaw. Tho Antenna. The antenna system used at W E H, Is a very olabornto arrange ment, using a counterpoise which Is stretched under tho nerlal. The ncr lal Is supported on 66-foot polos, which ore guyed at frequont inter vals und innulated carofully from tho antenna proper. Tho radiating system consists of eight wlreg, placed two feet apart, nnd scotch ing between tho poles for a distance of about 65 feet. Tho wlro used Is heavy 14-strand phosphorus bronr.e, which will stand a great pull without giving, each wire being In sulated by special Insulators. Tho counterpoise Is placed directly under tho nerlal, and is a combination flat top, fan antenna, having In Its mako up, qulto a little more wlro than Is placed In the antenna proper. The counterpoise Is nlso carefully insu lated. Tho receiving nerlal Is stretched from the top of tho build ing in which tho sot Is located, to the top of a 14-story office build ing a block away. This Is a slnglo wlro, which Is carefully supportod so ns not to give way under nny circumstances. Each of tho aerials Is connected to a largo lightning switch, which Iff grounded whon tho set is not In operation so as to protect tho ap paratus from lightning. Theso switches may ho seen on tho ledgo of the window In tho center of the plcturo showing tho antenna sys tem, Tho loadlns nro connected di rectly to the switch and tho Interior connection made with large high tension cable. This antonna eystom has been found to glvo excellent sorvlco, as is rf-ndlly ncen from tho long dls tanco reports which have boen re ceived. Tho high voltago used on the tubes, In obtained from a motor gen erator, which Is located In tho base ment of tho building, so as to get rid of nny generator hum, which would otherwise lntorfero with tho good operation of tho sot. This gen erator remotely controlled, nnd ndo quatcly tupplles tho tubes with tho L'.uOO volts necessary. The filaments of tho tubea nro lighted by alternat ing curront from a specially de signed transformer. Modern Quarter. Thn part of tho building in which the sot Is located, Is on tho roof of tho six-story Unity building, tho ad ditional story being of stucco, with plenty of light and receiving tho breezes of the rl .er. Tho phonogr. ph muslo Is repro duced on an Ed son machine, loaned through thn rourtey of tho Edison shop of Tulsa.

It Is Intel estlng to know that the first broadcasting of musle was not by means of tho phonograph Ho gen erally used at present. The spring of I'.HiT saw thn radio distribution of vni belli' electrical mulu. generated and plaved tu a building at the cor ner ut liroBtlway and Thlrty-Heventli streel. New York City. The plant Itself consisted of many Inductor nllei nates whose froiiueneles were those (,: tho ntlra mulcil s.t.Io. Music furnished by this tloctrlral in gun was traiuimltted by wlro to near-by theaters, hotels and restau rants, where one or several loud lioiM speaker poured Into the ear this new electrical music.

This experiment In broadcasting, how over, lusted but n very short time. The location of what may properly be described an the first n. iual ra diophone broadcasting Mutton of thn world, however, was In tho old I'arker building, Nineteenth street and Fourth nvvnue, Now York City, (u tho top floor of this building was tho laboratory of Dr. l,eo do Forest; two flagpolea on thn roof of this building furnished tho necessary support of thn antenna. It was In the samo little, old laboratory that many mouths earlier the Inventor had tested out his first threo-olec troile vanillin tube. Unfortunately, this historic laboratory, which saw lho birth ut tho tiny glans baby, was known as tho modern Alladln's lamp. Is no longer In existence. In .launary, 100S, a great flro complete, ly destroyed thn I'arker building, in cidentally wiping out of existence notebooks and many precious sam ples of tho earliest million bulbs. Tho first actual tranainlHtdou of phonograph music, let It bo known, was thn result of nxporlimmtnl lest by Dr. i.en do Forest In 1007 on sonio 20 small telephone transmitters planned fnr Installation on Admiral llvan's battleships and destroyers tirlnr to their historic round-tho- world crillmi. Tim first actum application of thn llo Forest tndlonhono In reporting n news event was no doubt the report ing of thn yneht races on thn great lakes In tun samo summer or 1007; gramophone music was then fur nished between tho spoken bulletins.
