ARM3TR0NG BOOSTS EDUCATIONAL FK STATIONS The Service Bulletin of the FREC carries a significant story for all interested in the educational FM station. We quote: "Major Edwin H„ Armstrong has instructed manufacturers of FM equipment to reduce their charges, to educators, by an amount equal to his royalty, less the nominal amount of $1„00<, Boards of education will profit thereby, and total savings will be no sm&l}, item in total installation cost. "Major Armstfong expresses his very significant aid to educational broadcasting in the following letter to Dr. John W. Studebaker, U. S. Commissioner. The letter was read to those present at the Twelfth Institute lor Education by Radio. ’Dear Doctor Studebaker: ’I have been much gratified with the reports that are reaching me about the experiments with FM transmission conducted by the Cleveland Board of Education and I have been considering for some time what might be done to further encourage other, similar, projects. •From time to time letters have come in from educational institutions requesting information about royalty rates under my Frequency Modulation patents in the event that these institutions s ]™uld decide to erect stations and construct transmitters themselves. It has seemed to me that it might help the development of this new branch of radio if I should arrange to issue licenses, to those educational institutions which are interested in going ahead, at a nominal royalty of One Dollar. This is to advise you that I am willing to do that. , there be anv way in which I could assist ther cause of educational broadcasting by the furnishing of technical advice or information, I hope that you will always feel free to call upon me for it. “Very sinedrely, "Edwin H. Armstrong* "
