"The landlord went into the house and returned with a small object, like a cigar box. The inevitable skeleton was burned in the lid. “You want to try it? It works as well as a regular receiver with valves.” He quickly arranged the leads and the earphones, and put a plug into a jack built under the table. It costs three marks seventy-five pfennigs, without earphones, of course.” He offered the earphones to Khlinov. “You can listen to Berlin, Hamburg, and Paris, if you like. I’ll tune you in to Cologne Cathedral, there’s a service on there now, you’ll hear the organ. Kolossal!”"
