Radio interference study finds Bath cooperation with utilities
J A Vahey, Boston Edison expert, spent a week in Bath assessing radio interference. He cites trolley noise, arcing from heaters, and 500 volt lines as major sources, with improvements noted after actions by Central Maine Power and Hyde Windlass Co. Telephone and car barn issues were also addressed, and some disturbances eliminated or reduced through changes and grounding. The report praises local utility cooperation and highlights maintenance steps for better reception.
