One factor affecting the Australian market, Department of Commerce of- ficials said, is litization between the Marconi Co. and local manufacturers over the alleged infringements of pat- ents.

I "HE 200 electrical and acoustical engineers in the service of the Radio Corporation of America have achieved in Radiola 17, Radiola 28 and Radiola 30A the simplified socket-power operation that has been their goal since the first Radiolas were designed. Radiola 28 employs the famous RCA Super- Heterodyne circuit and is therefore super-se- lective. For those desiringacustom-builtcabinet model of the Super-Heterodyne with the loud- speaker in the cabinet, the new Radiola 30A has been added to the RCA line. Radiola 17—the first to employ the new RCA alternating current Radiotrons — rightly de- serves to be called a “wonder box.” Once con- nected with your electric light circuit, and a good loudspeaker (like RCA Model 1004) it is as simple to operate as an electric fan. There are other tried, tested and perfected Radiolas in the complete line offered by RCA, ranging from $69.50 to $895. They are designed for all methods of operation and all requirements of location.
