Prior to ach broadcasting lstenersin will be informed as to the names of the par ticlpants so that on the night of the game any four may play the deal und each player be named after one of the four experts and take the same relative position at the table as that occupied by his expert name- sake. The players will be told to a pack of cards divided into sults, so that the canls as they dealt and broadeast may be quickly selected from the pack. The resuit of the draw for partners and deal will be announced, and then the cards dealt to each expert. The bidding will then follow, after which each Play will be announced So that the players can play the same cards that the experts do. i In other words, the auction bridge plavers of the country who have radios will have an opportunity to actually play the same deal played by four experts and to learn the rea- cons for each bid and play when holding and playing the same cards. The first play will take place with Mr. Work.

There is no “quick test” to tell you whether you have picked a good one. There- fore the only sure way is to buy only RCA Radiotrons because you know that RCA ac- curacy of make insutes uniform goodness and accuracy of testing keeps the standard high. \ Radiotron UV-199, RCA tests show that all Radiotrons are easy on the “B” batteries. This is a matter of “plate resistance.” If the resistance is too high, the quality of the signals is poor—and there’s no joy in listening. If it is too low, your set will eat up “B” barteries. In Radiotrons, both evils are guarded against in manufacture, and doubly safeguarded by tests after manufacture. For example, in Radiotron UV-199 the danger is in placing of two elements known as a filame and a grid inside a metal cylinder (plate) which is only a sixteenth of an inch in di- ameter. They must be accurately held in place —by precision machinery —while they are being welded. They must be exactly right to the hundredth of an inch! This is too small a distance to measure with a ruler, but it is mea: /ly by highly developed apparatus the RCA test laboratories. And you know, if you buy genuine RCA Radiotrons that you are getting vacuum tubes with "“B” barte No matter what set you buy be sure the dealer puts in genuine Radiotrons: $2.50 $2.50 $2 $2 $2.5 £Z ured e PP e lelelatetats! in =SRRe 5 o ¢ economy built-in!
