Atwater Kent
HE new Atwater-Kent models employ a neon station indicator. At the right of the full-vision dial is a vertical slot, through which can be seen an orange-red light in a neon tube, The purpose of this tube is to show when the receiver is exactly tuned to the frequency of the station being received. A column of light inside the tube rises and falls according to the signal strength of the station. When the light rises to its maximum height it means that the set is tuned precisely to the , station, and the best tone and clearest ' reception are being obtained. By this means the owner can tune by eye rather than by ear. All the models are superheterodyne and have variable-mu and pentode yalves.
