London Radio Show Wonders

JX a letter just received in Auckland from a relative in London, a local radio enthusiast was informed that the Radio Show at Olympia, Kensington, which was opened on August 15 last, was the greatest wireless exhibition the world had ever seen. ' "There are two square miles ~ radio Wonders, and the daily demonstrations of radio technique would amaze you," said the Londoner. ‘The three things which struck me most about the 1934 radio receivers was their cheapness, smart appearance, and compact-

ness. The manufacturers have at last taken appearance into consideration. There are sets that harmonise with every home-sets that do not look like radio sets at all, some disguised as clocks, pianos, and others as cocktail cabinets. Another looks like a very modern dressing table, while there are sets which you can put away in the loft and operate from a small switchboard on the wall." . The post office robot, also at.the show, was said to be a whole

exhibition in ifself. In this one could see a ship’s radio installation; be told how to cure electrical interference of any form; study automatic telephones; be instructed in the technicalities of sine waves, harmonics and other mysteries by a wonderful robot that draws wireless waves and analyses them before your eyes, while one could even lodge a complaint against one’s neijghbour who oscillated.
