RADIO CIRCUITS

Join Manila With World

Curtis H. Nance, Vice-President and General Manager, Radio Cor poration of the Philippines, writes in the Manila Bulletin:-

Around thirty years ago Marconi succeeded in transmitting a signal from Newfoundland to Ireland, marking the first successful span ning of any great distance with a message sent without wires.

The number of transmitters of the Mackay Company will be fu- creased as rapidly as demands for service warrant.

The receiving unft of the company is expected to be located on the Alabang Road approximately 25 kilometres from Manila.

It is pointed out that atmospheric conditions in the Pacific basin are ideal for trans-ocean telephony.

Several notable cases, among them the sinking of the "Titanic" and of the "Republic" demonstrated to the public the vital need of radio,

or "wireless" as it was called in the early days, to ships at sea.

Then, undersea cables proving enormously costly of installation and maintenance, radio stepped in to demonstrate that it could provide just as reliable communication as
