[78-L] BE Nit Pick

[Ron L'Herault]

An eb page is just like a web page except with a silent and quite invisible
W.   The 1911 date was from a page about some Magnavox paperwork I believe.
I could Google it again if you'd like.

Magnavox had developed a P.A. system in 1919 but it was something that
was very rarely used and required a roomful of batteries and tubes.

the ballroom crowd gathered around a radio with a horned loudspeaker on
its
top to listen to the Harding-Cox elections, supposedly coming from KDKA.
 
I don't think people were listening in 1920 to a speakered radio;
earphones
were the method of hearing that early time, right?!
