These stations were constructed by the Ministry of Communications but, as stated, they are now controlled by the Re- construction Council.

WIRE RECORDS OF SOUND

A demonstration was given in London of a now apparatus for recording sound, by means of magnetised wire. Among the items recorded were a vocal solo, a'whistl ing solo, а amall orchestral selettion, and recital of a burlesque of # short selec- tion, from Macbeth attributed to Mr. Bernard Shaw. These were |"recorded" into, a microphone con- nected to the coils of small electro- magnets, past the cores of which a thin steel wire was conducted at a constant speed. The electric, or acoustic, vibrations, it was explain. ed, were converted into magnetic vibrations by the electro-magnets, and in this way became magneti- cally fixed on the steel wire. After several minutes' waiting the whole programme, by reversing the mechanical

reproduced process, through a loud-speaker the complete programme, including the nouncer's remarks between numbers.

300 CANARIES BROADCAST

Three hundred roller canaries took part in the B.B.C. programme early in November. The birds were assembled at the Birmingham atudio in covered cages, and at the prescribed moment the covers were removed. The canaries did very well. "Just listen to the roll," said the announcer. Rolling is a sort of scale whistling. In describing the birds the announcer, confessed his ignorance as to whether they should be called a flock, a flight, or A covey.
