BLIND SCHOOL Clfi L RADIO Hie 5i Trade Expects to Finish 2 Million Sets in Year NEW YORK. Sept. 18.- -(AP) Radio as a business is look ins forward to one of the most active seasons since it became an impor tant unit in the manufacturing in dustry. Statistical experts estimate that 2,500,000 new receivers will be placed in American homes before the ,1928-1929 season gives way to another year. They say that a big share of this business will consist of replacements. - One influence credited with add ing impetus to the interest in ra dio is politics. The fact that big parties have made plans to make part of the campaign, effort through broadcasting is thought to have given rise to an increase in the demand for sets. Increase Seen Both Bond P. Geddes, executive vice president of the Radio Manu facturers' association, and Harold J. Wrape, president of the Federa ted Radio Trade association, say that all indications point to a con siderable increase in the volume of business over last year. "I believe that the season now opening," said Mr. Geddes, "will see more than 2,500,000 new re ceivers in operation. Manufactur ers all over the country are un usually busy, and reports to them Indicate that the demand is the greatest in several years.' ' "Reports from all important centers," Mr. Wrape said, "point to a great radio year. It is expect ed to surpass all others in the number of receivers installed." Most of the new receiver mod els are designed for alternating current tubes .operating direct from the house current. New di rect current tube models are few, but nearly every manufacturer has at least one. The greatest advance of the year seems to have been in speakers. The electro-dynamic type has been "m proved until tone quality is Uni ted largely by the abllKy of the receiver to nasa the voice frequen cies. Speaker overload likewise Is becoming less of a worrf. With television Beginning to at tract the attention of the amateur exnerimenters. . Parts ' manufactur ers report-a .renewed interest in their lines. One firm says that it is receivine 150 to 200 letters a dav inaurine as to progress In sight radio. Most of them come from young experimenters. Radio Hints Salem radio fans are' reporting that they are getting several of the eastern stations to come through Just now In good shape when the conditions are right. WCCO at St. Paul and Minneapolis was report ed with good volume last night They, may be located on the dial Just above KHJ at Los Angeles. Also Shreveport La. (KWKH) coming in quite regularly being between KGO and KHJ. Council Bluffs, la. (KOIL) is also coming through when KOIN at Portland Is off the air being on the exact wave length. Several stations over the coun try are considering putting in tele vision and it is rumored that one of our most popular Pacific Coast stations expects to have this ser vice available by November -1. - You no doubt read that the Fed eral Radio Commission have made great changes in the wave lengths of the majority of the Pacific coast stations effective November 11 that should clear the air of hetro dyning or getting two stations on the same wave length at the same time, thsi allowing the eastern sta tions a far better chance of get ting through. So have a little pa tience with the commission that they may have time to clear the air of this interference. The Wirt Manufacturing com pany have announced that they are putting on the market a small, in expensive device that will control the voltage going into AC operated receivers where the line voltage is not regular, prolonging the life of the tubes and preventing tne burning out of so many. There are several of the dealers who already have these in stock and will be glad to supply you with them mak ing the proper installation for you.
