RADIO SERVICING

HELPING THE INDUSTRY AND THE PUBLIC To encourage rules and practices • that will be in the best interests of the radio servicing profession, the radio industry, and the public, and to protect its members in a lawful and proper manner from injustices, impositions, and fraudulent practices—• these are, in summary, the aims of the New Zealand Radio Institute, as set out in a report presented to a meeting held in the Young Men'* Christian Association rooms. The institute's method of achieving these ambitions is to educate radio firms to employ only registered men and members of the institute on their technical staffs, and to educate tha public to look for the sign of tha institute when engaging a man to service a radio set. For membership of the institute a man must hold the NewZealand Radio Service Men's Examination certißcate, be over 19 years old, and have four years' professional radio experience. New Zealand has laws about the installation of radio equipment, the report says, and if these are abided by they give the maximum protection against electrical hazard. It is suggested' that persons having repairs done or sets installed would be wiste to ask the service man for his electrical wireman's registration certificate.
