BROADC ASTING HAS BIRTHDAY, 16 YEARS OLD DETROIT i UP 1 Sixteen years ago this week. Dr. Lee de Forest, eminent radio scientist, installed in the offices of the Detroit News what he called a radiophone. This event marked the opening of America’s first broadcasting station and many people thought the venture foolish. Dr. de Forest has returned to Detroit to see, as he explained it, “what type of tree has grown from my acorn.’’ He found instead of the table full of scattered apparatus he had left, a new $1 000.000 home for the Detroit News station, WWJ, and a new 5 000 watt transmitting station declared by engineers to be among the most modern in the country. The new station, erected directly across the street from the Nows building, will be dedicated lat"* in September. The transmitting station has been in operation for two months. In 1920, de Forest’s radio could have been placed conveniently on anyone's kitchen table and there would have remained enough room to prepare a cake or pie. The three men who operated the station had little work to do. Their microphone looked like an ordinary telephone. Whenever it was desired to broadcast phonograph records the “friend in need" of early broadcasting days - the phonograph was shoved up close to this "mike.” An old-fashioned gramo phone horn, held against the “mike,” bridged almost all of the intervening distance. Thus was the music from the phonograph fed into the transmitter. Power was driven from a 150 watt, 500 volt direct current generator driven by a motor of only one-quarter horsepower.
