NEW YORK RADIO EXPOSITION
In Plans for Big Show September 6 to 12 Three Miles
of Exhibits Are Assured.
With the announcement that eighty per cent of
the space taken at last year's national radio exposition
already has been engaged by exhibitors for the fourth
annual national radio exposition, which is to open in
New York during the week of September 6-12, 1925,
a preliminary list of exhibitors indicates that every
leading factor in the radio industry will be repre-
sented this year.
The exposition will be inaugurated this year by a
demonstration of tele-dynamics in which leading
radio scientists from this country and abroad will
participate.
It is estimated that over three miles of exhibits,
covering the iirst three floors of Grand Central pal-
ace, will face the radio public on the opening night.
A radio pageant, which will illustrate the whole
range and development of the radio art, from the day
that the first signal was flashed and received over a
distance of a few miles, down to the modern radio
home, showing the manifold services that radio has
brought to every member of the family, will be one
of the new features of the exposition, it is announced
by the management.
The new inventions section will be featured by a
demonstration of power transmission by radio, given
on laboratory scale, in which trains, steamships, farm
machinery, and motor cars will be moved and
directed by radio. New and improved methods of
photographic transmission by radio will also be
shown.
Thousands of dollars will be offered as prizes by
the exposition management and radio manufacturers
for a series of amateur set building and other con-
tests, in which radio amateurs throughout the coun-
try are expected to participate. Amateurs will be
given a chance to determine the all American radio
set, composed of the best standard parts, a giant
model of which is to be built and placed on exhibition
at the fourth annual national radio exposition.
The entertainment program from Grand Central
palace, which will include leading radio, stage, and
concert stars, will be broadcast by the principal sta-
tions in New York.
