‘Dardanella’ First Tune Over the
Radio Waves—Sergeant Brass
Shows How It Is Done.
Means ¢f sending musi® by wAreless
has been devised by Sergeant Thomas
Brass of the Georgia Tech signal unit,
reserve cfficers’ training corps. A
demonstration to the /.tlanta Radio
Club Frday night proved the success
of his invention, which 1s epoch-mak
ing in wireless circles.
Sergeant Brass gave a concert by
wireless lelephone, probably the first
in the history of that Cevice. It was
to the jaxzy strains of “Dardanella”
that the invention was first publicly
tested,
The invention necessitates the lis--
“teneretging-a-. hend® set” t§ wear; ‘but
Sergeant Brass is seeking to perfect
an arrangeemnt of sounding boards
which will enable an audience as
sembled at a designated place to enjoy
music from a distance without equip
ping themselves with individual trap
pings. ¢
SUCCESS SCORED.
The demonstration was started at
7:30 o'clock when all radio stations
in Atlanta’ were calied and told to
listen. As soon as complete commu
nication had been established,. Ser
geant Brass sent “Dardanella”
through the instrument without
warning to the listeners, All were
asked to report back what they heard
with the result that the success of
the invention was assured.
Sergeant Brass tells how he con
ceived the idea of a radio concert in
this manner:
A station in Alabama that is on
“speaking terms” with Tech Sta
tion, was having considerable trou
ble: in hearing a conversation on the
rireless telephone some time ago.
%fter having the message repeated
seéveral times, the Alabama operator
instructed to “sing it.” Sergeant
Brass, who has spent twenty-five
years in the army, and whose sing
ing days are but images of the past,
declined to vocalize in the manner
suggested, but promised to get a
phonograph for him.
“You know,” he told a Georgian
reported Saturday, “the idea¥struck
me that it might actually be done,
1 tried it out with the 'ordinary
transmitter, but it wouldn’t work.
Not enough of the sound could be
concentrated on the diaphram of the
transmitter. Then I got to work
and fixed it.”
DANCE BY WIRELESS.
What Sergeant Bass actually
“fixed” was a very sensitive dia
phram for a two-step amplifier re
ceiving set. This was done only
after several weeks of experimenting
and hard work on the part of the
entire signal unit. The work was
kept strictly secret until Friday
night, when the initial tryout was
given. An ordinary phonograph was
started, the transmitter set up, and—
wireless music!
On hearing the music, one of the
local stations promised to entertain
with a dance, :he music to be furnish
ed by radio. This will necéssitats
some additional fixtures, since at
present, the sound does not carry far
enough from the receiver for dancing
purposes, and it would be necessary
for the dancers, to wear a receiving
head set.
The possibilities of a dance were
discussed, and Sergeant Brass is of
the opinion that it would be possible
with the proper arrangement of
sounding boards. He intends to com
mence work on this in the near fu
lture. +Until these are made, the plaes
‘ure of wireless music will have to be
confined to those who are fertunate
‘enough to get a head set.
