Opening a
NEW ERA in Radio
CThree Radio Pioneers to Lead Short Wave Expedition into Far North to Explore the Arctics and Test Out New Radio Theories
By FREDERICK SMITH
Above is shown the "Bowdoin," the ship which carried MacMillan to the Arctics last year. It is seen frozen in, near the Pole. Commander MacMillan is shown in the inset. The lower photo shows H. C. Forbes, John L. Reinartz and Karl Hassel, designers of th Zenith-Reinartz transmitter to be used in the 1925 expedition.
RADIO, history and science are likely to share richly in the results of the arctic expedition which â– will set off from Wiscasset, Me., about June 20 of this year. There will be one ship and at least two seaplanes to carry northward a group of men who will include in their number distinguished radio engineers, world-famous navigators and explorers, and some of the best aviatiors to be found in the United States Navy.
By the efforts of these men it is hoped that a new era in short wave radio transmission will be inaugurated. It is an
ticipated that we, in the more comfortable latitudes, may even be privileged to listen to the folks songs of the polar Esquimeaux, for both ship and airplanes will carry equipment for transmitting and receiving radio messages.
It is hoped that a lost arctic continent may be located and that landing posts may be arranged in such hitherto inaccessible spots that the cause of world commerce and communication will be immensely benefited. Planes equipped with mapping, still picture and moving picture cameras, will fly beyond limits
of dog team travel and bring back tacts abouc what lies in the land of frozenmystery.
To Delve Into History
IN addition there will be original research into such historical data as may still exist relating to the landing of the Norsemen in the farthest North. An effort also will be made to obtain copies of the important records left by Peary at Cape Columbia.
