Abstract
MR. A. P. M. FLEMING, manager of the research and education departments of the Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co., Ltd., who has been closely identified with the development of radio broadcasting in Great Britain, recently attended a conference of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers at Niagara Falls as a representative of the British Institution of Electrical Engineers and the British National Committee of the International Electrotechnical Commission. He took advantage of the opportunity while in America to make a close investigation of the position of radio telephony extending over a period of two months, and, in addition, studied the trend of public taste and opinion with regard to broadcasting and the steps which are being taken by the Government to control radio transmission. He tested a wide variety of makes of receiving apparatus and discussed the methods of working, cost and organisation of broadcasting stations, and obtained a considerable amount of valuable experience which will assist in enabling British manufacturers to avoid the pitfalls into which many American firms have fallen. Mr. Fleming also visited the largest broadcasting stations and discussed the situation with the leading makers, radio engineers and officials.
