Go one better \ In Wireless the motto of everybody to-day is “ Go one better.”

At the Broadcasting end the constant aim is to provide better and better programmes and transmission.

At your end the aim must be to get better and better reception.

Sooner or later you will provide your­ self with a Marconiphone that will give you distant as well as local stations, and with a Loud-speaking equipment that will enable, all in your company to hear perfectly without headphones.

Why not now ?

Ask your dealer lor full particulars of the Marconiphone V2 and Loud­ speaking equipment referred to above. In case of difficulty apply to :

tOilA a n . fcj& i& jdtoK Z No technical knowledge is needed to get perfect reception on an “ Efescaphone ” 2 or 3-valve set. It can be installed and operated by anyone who follows the simple printed instructions supplied with each set. It has a wave-length up to 4,000 metres, thus covering Continental as well as English Broadcasting stations. The 2-valve set has a telephony range of fully 125 miles, and a 3-valve set 250 miles with headphones. The latter will operate a loud speaker within a radius of approximately 75 miles of a broadcasting station, and at greater distance with the addition of a Note Magnifier. Finally, the appearance of “ Efescaphone ” Sets is all that could be desired. The lay-out is neat and compact ; the cabinet work distinctive. In the set illustrated the instrument panel is enclosed, when not in use, by a neat roll shutter and the headphones accommodated in a cupboard in the base. All connecting wires are out of the way at the back of the cabinet.
