London Radio Exhibition

Cheaper and Better Sets ee A REMARKABLE reduction in the £ : : prices of sets and a great improvement in reception and selectivity are the main features of the Na{ional Radio Exhibition, which opened at Olympia, London, on September 19. The latest developments in receivers. which range from a baby portable that can be slipped in the hip pocket to radio gramophones 12ft. high, are being exhibited on five miles of stands. The recent development of the radio industry at Home has been such that the available space at Olympia has proved insufficient for all firms wishing to exhibit, and an "overflow exhibition" is to be held in Manchester, opening on October 7, . Problems of power and _ selectivity have been so far mastered that manufaecturers are giving great attention to the external appearance of sets, both standard and portable.
