AND M. A. LEESE RADIO CO. | parads Ny NEW TYPE BATTERY RADIO DEVELOPED Four Recent Discoveries Have Revolutionized That Type of Sets. BY E. A. NICHOLAS. While progress has been going stead- ily forward in the development of elec- tric powered radio receivers until they | have reached a stege of near perfection, | little thought seems to have been given to_the development of comparable re- ceivers for the large areas that are still unelectrified The reason for this is plain, for of the estimated 29,000,000 homes in_this country eome 20,500,000 are electrified. Radio manufacturers have naturally turned their attention to the large and profitable market represented by the greater percentage of the popula- tion. However, there are more than 8,500,000 homes that are beyond power line supply. and of this total approxi- mately 6,500,000 are farm homes. Means More on Farm. And radio means more to the rural home than to the city home. It means a vital business service, as well as an important source of entertainment to the farmer; fcr it brings him news of agricultural markets, timely weather bulletins ard practical farming infor- mation, as well as diversion. Yet, lly enough, the instruments for receiving these programs are woe- fully inadequate. Progress in this direction has almost at a standstill since the when radio graduated from the ear- phone to the loudspeaker stage. Con- sequently, these rural homes have either been forced to do without radio serv- ice, or use makeshift ‘noise traps” hopelessly out of step with the rapid technical advances made in A. C. pow- ered sets. But now leading engineers have turned their full attention to the re- quirements of the unelectrified fleld. Starting out with current_conservation as the foundation, they have evolved self-powered receivers that incorporate all the convenience and operating fea- tures of the A. C. set with economy of operation, good sensitivity and selec- tivity and full tone quality and volume. Four Developments, This truly remarkable achievement was made possible by four revolution- ary developments, following each other in"rapid succession. The first was the development of an extremely long-lived “A" battery utilizing the so-called air- cell, which literally breathes life-pro- longing oxygen from the air, and will last for approximately a year without replacement. Second, was the develop- ment of the 2-volt vacuum tube to be used in conjunction with the new bat- tery. Third, laboratory engineers have developed a remarkable receiving cir- cult which provides four times the audio output of that obtainable from the usual circuit employing the same | tubes and batteries. And fourth, the develcpment of a new permanent field dynamic loudspeaker deriving its field energy from a large permanent magnet, and providing a quality of tone and breadth of volume never before pos- sible in a battery-operated receiver. The sum total of these achievements has been incorporated in self-powered receivers free from the various weak- nesses and inconveniences cf the old type, and fully the equal of the electric power radio sets available to the city and town dweller. been days GLENN FRANK IS TOPIC Frazier Hunt to Discuss Head of Wisconsin University.

But in each shop, store and service station where radio sets are sold there will be special exhibits and demonstra- tions. Each individual dealer will have his own show, conducted in accordance with his own ideas, but with the one object of making | Washington conscious of the great {advance made by the radio indus- try in the last few years. B NE who does not own a modern radio set cannot fully appre- ciate that progress. There is as much difference between the radio set of today and 1929 as there is between the automobile of 1920 and the latest 1931 model. Prices, too, have fallen in pro- portion to the developments and improvements. Good radio sets were never before as low in price as they are today, though the quality is far superior to the set of two years ago. SR TORED away in my home there is a 1929 radio receiver of pop- ular make that cost $350 minus tubss, loud speaker and other in- cidental accessories. The speaker cost $35 additional and the tubes nearly $30. In other words, the actual investment was in excess of $400. For less than one-half that amount today I can purchase a set that excels it in appearance, in quality, in fidelity of reproduc: tt_ion and in reliability of opera- ion. Such has been the progress in the radio indvstry.
