B.C.L.'S PARADISE

RADIO IN ENGLAND,

The radio market in England is in a} healthy condition and promises a marked growth, according to W. A. Bartlett, managing director of Brandes, Ltd., London, "The average American’s conception of England being a land of crystal receivers and earphones is out of date," said Mr. Bartlett. "Approximately 90 per cent. of the receivers now use from one to six valves. The market for valve sets is expected to grow rapidly during ihe next few years for two reasons, ‘The industrial situation, which has been serious, is improving, and the recent reallocation of wave-lengths made at the Geneva Conference has prevented chaos. A two-valve set will tune in 20 stations very nicely in most instances, and a six-tube set can gte 230 stations. The desire for reception of distant stations a six-tube set can get 230 stations, ‘The broadcast wave-band is the same as in America with the exception of Daven-' try, which is using the 1600 metre chaunel.
