Wellington Winter Show

[HE fancies of the public, voiced through the trend of inquiries to radio dealers during the Wellington Winter Show are interesting. Crystal sets, complete with license, were offered . for as little as 41s., but, there was little business in this line. All atten-. tion was directed towards the electric . sets, and, it is reported, several sales | were the result. HUGE cone loudspeaker, some six feet in diameter, and designed after a popular speaker, created some interest at the Wellington Winter Show. This "baby" was handling great volume without the slightest distortion and consequently attracted a large crowd. Many wondered and speculated as to the method by which it was worked. It was quite simple. Two small cone speakers were so placed as to give the utmost amplification possible. ANY people were, for the first time, permitted to hear the dynaniic cone speaker in action during the show weeks. One exhibitor had one assembled in a handsome cabinet and visitors were enabled to hear it reproduce from 2YA. There is no doubt such a speaker represents the aeme of perfection; for volume, tone and quality these speakers are without equal, but their cost puts them beyond the purse of the average listener.
