AN ALL-WAVE SET
This is probably the largest broadcasting-receiving instrument in New Zealand, and is a very fine piece of radio engineering work designed and built by Mr. W. Edwardes, member of the Institute of Wireless Technology, London, and Radio Engineer of Associated Agencies, Ltd., Auckland. The range of this set is from as low as five metres up to 8,000 metres; the distance-getting qualities are unlimited and the set has worked American stations nightly from 4 p.m. on its broadcast band section. On the short-wave section P.C.J.J., Holland, has been heard frequently on the speaker. This instrument embodies a short-wave section, a crystal and amplifying section for local reception, a long-wave section and a six-valve broadcast receiver. The instrument is very staple over the entire wave-band and is nonoscillating. Taken on the average this instrument is more economical in upkeep than would be supposed in an instrument of this size for, although comprising eight valves, it can be operated at a less cost for all ordinary purposes than the usual five-valve installation.
