External Amenities to the Home Our Postmaster-General has very rightly submitted that a radio receiver should become an essential part of every home, as is the case with gas, water apd electrical installations. Readers will doubtless appreciate the fact that they now have the choice of many reputable makes of radio sets, all of which, in addition to the utility aspect, are artistically designed. But what of the exterior accessories associated with “ wireless ” ? Until quite recently it has been considered necessary to disfigure the home in particular and the landscape in general with a couple of unsightly poles a s masts upon which to fasten an aerial. Our architects display considerable skill in designing homes which, in addition to convenience, are pleasing to the eye, and then the enthusiast i c gardener converts fancy into reality in the form of lawns, paths, pergolas and gardens and those indicentals which make a house into a home. Having completed a pleasing picture, why spoil it with unsightly poles and wires ? No one can regard the average “ wireless poles ” as an object of beauty; rather, they have been in the past necessary evils, now happily to be jettisoned, for the march of progress decrees that poles are obsolete. Scientists have made available an unobstrusive aerial which has proven itself to the satisfaction of the 8.8. C. officials and has received the unqualified approval of the world’s best-known radio authorities. Its efficiency is demonstrated by the fact that this particular type of aerial is the choice of Windsor Castle, where the leaden roofs make satisfactory reception difficult. The cost is considerably less than poles and wires, it is easily attached to your chimney or to the gable, and, in addition to its undoubted efficiency as a receiver, it is neat and unobstrustive; storms will not disturb it. Such a device must commend itself to every householder and particularly to those living in flats where outside space is limited. The very near future will see these small aerials attached to every house where radio sets operate—and, after all, who will regret the passing of that forest of stricken poles and sagging wires which at present disfigure so many of our otherwise attractive homes !
