although there was some falling off during the summer months. By October, 1924, the total had practically reached 1,000,000 and at the time of writing (February, 1925,) it is 1,200,000.
In the new arrangements with the Broadcasting Company, the Postmaster General had reserved the right to issue on January 1st, 1925, the simple and uniform license (at 105.) which had been recommended by the Broadcasting Committee. In view of the fact that
this further reform was drawing near, and that there would be difficulty in inducing the public to pay 155. for the constructor's license in the autumn of 1924 instead Of waiting until the beginning of 1925 to secure a license for 105., the Broadcasting Company agreed to introduce this further reform at an earlier date. The growth in the number of licenses, and consequently in their revenue, had put them in a good financial position;
and they accordingly agreed that the 105. license should be issued as from July 1st, 1924. The condition about British manufacture was to be retained until the end of the year. This reduction in the license fee no doubt assisted in the growth in the number of licenses above referred to. On and from January 1st, 1925, a simple form of license (at 10s.), without any restriction as to the country of origin of the licensed apparatus, has been in existence.
Meanwhile, with the increase in revenue, the Broadcasting Company had been able to maintain a very efficient service at their original stations, and they also had been able to erect a number of additional stations. These, for the most part, have been socalled relay stations, with a power of from 100 to 200 watts. A more interesting development, however, has been the use, experimentally, of
THE CHELMSFORD MAST Of the experimental station 5XX of the British Broadcasting Company. The usual broadcast wavelengths of the various English stations are much the same as in this country, but 5XX uses a 1600 meter wavelength and a power of about 25 kilowatts. The Broadcasting Company engineers were testing with this station the possibilities of using a high powered station, located at a central point, broadcasting programs to be picked up anywhere in England with a crystal receiver
