QUESTIONIn the Twenties, subscribers to the Electrophone Company, of GerrardStreet, London W1, could listen to music hall concerts and church servicesthrough their telephone for an annual fee. A fifth category has since been added: electrophones for instruments whose sound is produced by the pulsing of electricity in a wire. Always at the forefront of technology, in 1906 the Mirror installed an Electrophone at its London headquarters to report directly the words of Prime Minister Campbell-Bannerman as he called a General Election. |
