He stings a small boy severely, the doctor examines the patient and leaves directions which the family discover prescribe a radio outfit. Once it is set up, it becomes the center of the family entertainment. The remainder of the reel takes us to the broadcasting station (Westinghouse, N. J.) where we are shown the antennae from which are sent out waves. Sounds at the sending station cause modulations of the radio waves. These in turn are detected by the radio receiver, and translated by a "detector," which reproduces waves exactly like those of the sending station.
