A Radio Play by GEORGE CRAYTON
Characters :
' X ' was the name given by three wireless enthusiasts in England to an unknown station that seemed to broadcast the same programme every night-until the one occasion when it was interrupted by a desperate cry for help.
Behind the enigma of the mystery station lies a tale of machinery run riot; of men imprisoned in a fortress of steel; of a city ruled by semi. human machines, crushing the men who made them in their metallic grip. No stranger, more thrilling story was over written by Jules Verne or H. G. Wells. And underlying it all is the hint of that unknown quantity-that dangerous, incalculable ' X '—that lurks in the machinery made by man.
