History:

DESCRIPTION OF EXHIBITS ALL- BRITISH WIRELESS EXHIBITION November 8th -21st, 1923.

A comprehensive range of receiving sets; and accessories are exhibited. A miniature crystal receiver of simple design and costing only 10s. 6d., should appeal to those who want an inexpensive set for listening in at distances not exceeding thirty miles from the broadcasting stations.

Other models include a new range of valve-receiving apparatus so designed to allow the full use of reaction. A very compact variable condenser, one-third the size of the usual plate type, is a useful component for building a compact receiver.

The Universal Coil Holder is capable of many adaptations. Other components of good design include rheostats, potentiometers, knife switches, and other accessories.

 The " Abbey " Aerial is arranged so that it can be erected in a few minutes and is quite efficient.

A wavemeter built to cover the broadcasting range is another particularly useful instrument.
