Abstract
ONE of the difficulties in ensuring the good reception of broadcast programmes is that many of the various electrical appliances and plant in common use emit radiation which travels to neighbouring radio receivers, and there produces a noisy disturbance mixed with the broadcasting programmes. Some three years ago, the Council of the Institution of Electrical Engineers set up a committee, representative of all sections of the electrical and radio industry, to study this problem, and to make recommendations as to the steps, if any, to be taken to secure the elimination or mitigation of electrical interference with radio reception. This committee, under the chairmanship of Mr. C. C. Paterson, has recently issued its report, copies of which are now available from the Institution of Electrical Engineers (price 6d. post paid).
