A descriptive commentary from the top of Table Mountain, introduced by The Rt. Hon. the Earl of CLARENDON, G.C.M.G., Governor-General of the Union of South Africa
A new type of descriptive broadcast comes to-day from the flat-topped Table Mountain that towers 4,000 feet directly above Cape Town. The commentator will give listeners an eye-witness account of the magnificent panorama to be seen from this vantage point. The ascent takes four hours by climbing tracks, and only four minutes by the cable way, which has the steepest and longest single cable within the Empire. For this broadcast a special telephone line has been laid from the mountain face to a point one and a quarter miles back. The party that went up to survey the line route was lost in the mist and rescued with difficulty by a mountain ranger.
