Carolus Cell. In Rome, a recent statement of Guglielmo Marconi that "it will soon be possible to transmit a picture or a whole page of print across the Atlantic by radio," was amplified. Marconi's prophecy, it appeared, was based on the development, in various European laboratories, of a new photo-electric cell, much more sensitive than the selenium cells hitherto used with indifferent results. The inventor of the cell was one Dr. Carolus, who had based his work on the so-called Kerr method of influencing polarized light so that high voltage produces a strong light ray, low voltage...
Bearing a distinction enjoyed only by figures such as George Westinghouse, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas A. Edison, General Goethals, Orville Wright, Guglielmo Marconi, Ambrose Swazey (TIME, Feb. 25. 1924), Mr. Stevens arose to deprecate, to give thanks.

But very few Americans, amateurs or professionals, were able to receive the English program at all, and of the scattered few who did, in New York, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, only partial and temporary receipt was reported. Most of the big American stations ceased broadcasting during the performance...
