X X X X X X X GAS STATION RADIOS FOR MOTORISTS' WEATHER INFORMATION Intermediate wave radio receivers at filling stations and other points along highways to obtain weather information for motorists were suggested by the Bureau of Air Commerce. Every hour from the sixty-eight airways broadcast stations scattered throughout the United States along the Federal Airways System weather reports are sent out on the air to assist flyers, and small receiving sets with a range of from 200 to 400 kilocycles could make this information available to motorists. This service, if organized, could be made available to the transient motorist in the form of small bulletin boards to be placed in conspicuous places in service stations, bus stations, and local automobile clubs and associations on heavily traveled highways where an attendant could post the weather broadcasts as soon as they were sent out on the air. This would be of particular importance in the more rugged and mountainous sections of the country, where a fog may mean delay, a heavy rain a washout, and a snow an impassable section of roadway.
