A singer broadcasting by means of a glow transmitter. Taken by Westinghouse.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Singer uses Dr. Phillip Thomas' invention, the glow transmitter, to broadcast voice. Surrounding text reads (in part): "Another type of thermo-microphone has also been put to successful use—the glow transmitter developed by Dr. Phillips Thomas, of the Westinghouse Research Laboratories. Dr. Thomas has demonstrated that a high-pressure, low-current electrical discharge between two electrodes in air may be modulated by sound impulses striking upon it."
