Radio Service in a Philadelphia Hotel THE Hotel Robert Morris in Philadelphia, in common with many other hotels in the United States, has provided its guests with a compelling reason to stay in their rooms in the evening The Robert Morris was equipped in March, 1925, and the unusual feature of the arrangement is that the widest possible program choice is offered to the listener. A plug with three jacks is provided in every room and the three jacks provide the program at the moment being transmitted over the Blue or Red Networks of the National Rroadcasting Company or the Columbia chain. The radio control room is located on the top floor of the hotel and the equipment, in the main office on the first floor, is operated by remote control. Constant volume level throughout the hotel is maintained by using compensating and repeating coils. By grouping the jacks in the various rooms in parallel series it is possible to maintain reception in every room in the hotel even though trouble develop in the outlet in one or more rooms. 4
