l8o THE BATHYSPHERE BROADCAST 



ceived over the two radio receiving sets which were tuned 

 to stations WZXL in Boundbrook, New Jersey (NBC) , 

 and WNB in Lawrenceville, New Jersey (A. T. & T.). 



The only thing I insisted on was that all the direct 

 announcements and other communications were to be 

 made by the oflScial announcer, Mr. Ford Bond. Every 

 word that I or my staff said, in the presence of the micro- 

 phones, would have been said if there were no apparatus 

 on board for broadcasting. As we forgot almost immedi- 

 ately, both while preparing to enter and an hour later 

 when I was 1500 feet down, that any broadcasting was 

 in progress, it can be realized that whatever was heard 

 over the radio was spontaneous and very real and unpre- 

 meditated. We have to thank the radio men for aiding in 

 every way in this unusual and quite untypical radio 

 method.
