Olympic Sun Deck

[Interior-Fan]

So, I went looking around at Olympic's 1920 pictures and I noticed something on the Boat Deck/Sun Deck. It was in the 2nd class promenade and it was situated near the 2nd class entrance. What are these large box shaped rooms and what were their purpose?

It was a radio room.

Since Olympic began in the spark-gap Marconi wireless era and service continued into the 1930's , I would assume that there was a continuous update of the radio transmitting and receiving equipment and changes and possible re-locatiions of the radio room from time to time ?

This radio room was after the passing of Marconi technology and it is the only location other than the previous Marconi suite which was used for radio signaling of which I am aware.
