FOREWORD This will undoubtedly be the last volume of this publication which has to do with only one type of commercial radio — the type known as "amplitude modulation". In 1941 the broadcasting industry will launch a new land of transmission, known as "frequency modulation"/ to sail the commercial seas alongside the older, present art. The impending expansion — and all that it implies — is already heralded by numerous developments. Broadcasting expenses have risen enormously. A rush for licenses has begun. And research, always large on radio's horizon, is already turning more and more from a quantitative to a qualitative form. It is hoped that this latter development, in particular, is successfully reflected in these pages, and that the material herewith presented (largely through the cooperation of the radio industry itself) will be useful in an era dominated by expansion and transition.
