RCA Radiophone Only Link With "Flying Enterprise" Hero The radiotelephone which served as the only form of communications between Capt. Henrik Carlsen, mas- ter of the ill-fated "Flying Enterprise", and the ships standing by to rescue him, was a small 20-pound ship-to- shore unit designed by Radiomarine Corporation of America for use aboard small pleasure boats. According to a statement from Radiomarine, the captain bought the equipment just before sailing on the freighter's last trip, and carried it along to test its opera- tion on the high seas. A model of the compact radiophone was one of the feature exhibits at the recent Motor Boat Show in New York. 20 RADIO AGE
