He lost no time in bringing it before the musical world, and before long both sides of the Atlantic had welcomed it warmly. Rubinstein was wise enough to change his mind about it then, and to cry ‘ peccavi ’ ; he, too, played it often in his own concerts.

\ STEALS YOUR MONEY!

Electrical Leakage robs you oS power — of energy for which you have already paid S If you use an old-fashioned, smooth-top H.T. Accumulator you are harbouring a menace to your pocket and to your Set. Electrical leakage can sneak along smooth top H.T. Accumulators con­ tinuously whether you are using them or not.

Smooth-top H.T. Accumulators are liable to leak continuously — the leak-thieS is always busy on them! And the effects of electrical leakage are serious. It causes the Accumulator to require frequent re­ charging. It prevents your Set getting the H.T. it needs — reception is ruined, range is reduced, volume is lowered and tone is degraded.

ANY PORTABLE SET NOW A POWER SET Lissen have succeeded where others have failed— Lissen have overcome the difficulties and short­ comings of the Pentode Valve and give you now -v a Power Pentode that takes only 7 milliamps of H.T. current and therefore can be worked off any H.T. batteries. If you have a 2-valve receiver, replace the second valve with this new Lissen Power Pentode and you will be surprised at the volume you get. The local station will come in at double strength — distant - stations that were once but a whisper come in at good loudspeaker strength. This is something new that Lissen have given to radio—a valve that justifies Lissen’s effort to develop r a new and original valve.

* HOW TO CONNECT THE NEW LISSEN POWER PENTODE Simply make a connection from the 1SSEN terminal of the Lissen Power Pentode Valve with a piece of ordinary flex and a wander plug to the highest H.T + tapping * in use, or to + 120 volts (whichever is POWER PENTODE the lower). Then take cut your ordinary ' 'i valve and put the Lissen Power Pentode in its place and listen to the amazing VALVE improvement in volume and tone. CONSUMPTION ONLY 7 MILLIAMPS
