Although tho new Louver dial on the 1938 General Electric radios was not named after the world famous Louvre museum In Paris, it would be worthy of that name for It Is a masterpiece of beautiful yet practical design. The Louver dial is so named bc caue all the scales are placed on louvers which are set at an angle that provide maximum legibility and ease In tuning whether the dial Is viewed from either a standing or sitting position. The louvers are formed by cutting around the top and sides of the scales and bending them back to the proper angle. This makes it possible to illuminate the dial from in' back and above so tat each such cut-out or louver stands out brightly. Thus the owner of a Genera Electric radio with the Lou ver dial mny tunc in hi favorite stations without peering or peeking no mntter whether he's standing or sitting alongside the set. The colors used on the Louver dial have been carefully chosen to har monize with the fine walnut veneers of the Oenernl Elertrlc radio cabinets. The fact of the dial ha an etch id bronxe finish agalnat which the rteb brown . of the printing stand out pleasingly. Because the dial 1 not translucent and the finish Is etched, the light 1 concentrated on the louvers and softly diffused on the rest of the dial. The window of glass aid- thl even diffusion a it reflecta light back on the dial. The highly polished bronze finish of the escutcheon which holds the glass in place enhance the appearance of the Louvre - dial. A tests proved that flame red was the easiest to see against the bronze finish and brown scales, the pointers were finish In that color as was the automatic band Indicator arrow which appears through the triangular piercing at the right of the dial. ;. The calibrated scales for each of the receiving bands are arranged on separate horizontal' lines because our habit of reading across the page makes it easier for us to read dial markings and tune in stations when the scales are horizontal. Thus the number of bands and the wave cov erage of each Is readily seen., Bach scale la plainly marked to indicate the typo of stations received on that band broadcast, amateur-aircraft, or short wave. In addition, on. the amateur-aircraft scale, the principal places where police, amateur and aircraft calls can be received are underscored and labeled. Likewise 36, 31, 25, 19, and 10 meter services are shown. On the Louver dial appear also visual volume and tone control in dicator to make it easier to adjust volume and tone to the desired sta tion before dialing. The visual vol ume control indicator enables even child to set the volume to the most desirable level for any station or program before tuning in. The visual tono control Indicator permits mphisizad bass, crisp speech of for eign settings and also acts a an on and off switch. The position at the extreme left la the off position for the power switch. The normal position has been deliberately located as the first step In turning on the receiver as most people prefer to operate their radio in the normal tone position where the best musical performance Is usually obtained. The basa position emphasizes bass notes and reduces treble. The foreign posi tion Is a very Important contribution to receivers having short wave cov erage. Reception of distant stations, which Includes all short wave recep tion. Is apt to be affected by noise. Since this noise Is inclined to be more objectionable when high and low audio notes are reproduced, the foreign position has been so devised that it reduces the extreme lows and highs to produce a very satisfactory reproduction in the middle register, which Is relatively free from noise trouble. In the fifth and last posi tion of this tone control Is the speech position. Here the bass notes are materially reduced so that speech Is reproduced crisp and clear.
