Description:
Founded in 1937 by Jack Alicoate, who also published the New York-based FILM DAILY. Alicoate essentially took the same model he had used for film and applied it to the growing medium of broadcasting: publish a daily trade paper with headlines and short news stories and then an end-of-the-year annual with industry data and loads of advertisements. Today, v=broadcasting historians will find a great deal of policy, industry, station, and programming information inside RADIO DAILY and the RADIO ANNUAL. -- Eric Hoyt, 2015

RCA scientists develop new direct-reading Loran instrument which simplifies problems of navigation. The homing pigeon qoes io sea Now science gives the navigator an improved "homing pigeon instinct," a way which— without checking the sun or the stars— he can head his ship directly home. Already thoroughly proved, Loran equipment has been simplified through RCA research and engineering, so that almost anyone can learn to use it in a few minutes. Free of human error, readings appear directly on the instrument. A quick check gives position. Brain of this Loran system is a circuit developed at RCA Laboratories which splits seconds into millions of parts — and accurately measures the difference in the time it takes a pair of radio signals to travel from shore to ship. Given this information, the navigator, hundreds of miles from shore, can determine his position quickly and accurately. Loran's simplicity adapts it to every type of vessel from merchant ship to yacht. Manufactured by Radiomarine Corporation of America, a service of RCA, it is already being installed in U. S. Coast Guard rescue ships. The meaning of RCA research RCA's contribution to the development of this new direct-reading Loran is another example of the continued leadership in science and engineering which adds value beyond price to any product or service of RCA.
