EXPERIMENTS WITH RADIO

NEW ZEALANDER'S SUCCESSES SPECIAL LOW RADIATION EQUIPMENT After conducting tests with' special low radiation radio equipment on a voyage from the United States to New Zealand Mr E. H. Seott of •J ' Scott Radio Chicago ? is at present preparing reports on the results obtained. Mr Scott ? a former New Zealander is chief executive of the and is combining his' experiments with a rest trip ? during which he is. visiting relatives in Nelson. Whiie serving with an Australian motor transport company in France in tlie last war Mr Scott invented a compact piece of apparatus for quieklj- locating trouble in automobile engines. This he offered to the British Government. Experts admit ted that it was a valuable device 5 but as it would cost about £'20 000 '9 ' to buiid enough of the instruments; to handle all the motor transport vehicles in the British Army, they reluctantly felt they would just have to "try to get along without it." Subsequently it took the United States Army just ten days'' to decide that they wanted the invention and it was adopted as standard equipment for all United States tank, tractor and motor transport. For his invention Mr Scott received 52 000 dollars.
