ERRATUM.
It is regretted that an error occurred in the reference on p. 527 of our last issue to the Seraphone Five receiver, which was inadvertently coupled with the designation Truphonic.
We are asked to state that although the sets are manufactured by the Truphonic Trading Company, they are marketed as Seraphone portable sets.Wireless World May 23, 1928, Page 552.
