PIONEER OF THE AIR FOUNDED IN 1919, the Radio Corpora- tion of America has completed 18 years of pioneering effort to develop and improve the uses of radio. Starting from scratch, RCA has create d a world-wide communications system with direct circuits between the United States and 42 foreign countries, and with ships at sea. It has created a nation-wide broadcasting sys- tem of endless cultural possibilities, now rapidly expanding its services by short-wave to all the world. It has created essential instru- ments for the radio transmission and recep- tion of sound, of code messages, and of fac- simile reproductions, and for the recording and reproduction of sound on records and on motion picture film. It has created countless radio devicesindispensable to modern science, industry, medicine, telephony, and public safety. It has created the basis for a system of electronic television, forecasting the day when radio sight, added to sound, will per- form a useful public service. Today the Radio Corporation of America is owned by nearly a quarter of a million stockholders in 48 states. No one person owns as much as V2 of 1% of its stock. Achievements of the past 18 years are a tribute to the Ameri- can tradition of service in the public interest through private initiative and ownership RCA presents the Magic Key every Sunday, 2 to 3 P.
