Dial
Simplified tuning is obtained by the magnified hairline adjustment -the call sign of the station being magnified as it comes into tuning position.
Automatic Speed TuningThis ingenious device enables the operator to turn quickly and smoothly to the general position of any long or short-wave station, and by reversing, automatically changes into low gear for the final precision adjustment.
