ROAD TEST ON CAR AWA CLARION TEN Muth written space is devoted to the performance of cots. To assist the public we conducted tests on cnr radios. Two NZ mode brands, X and Y, one Japanese partially assembled in NZ (Clarion) and one imported from Japan (Ten). The test route was Christchurch to Christchurch via the Hoost Poss. The results confirmed bench tests. One New Zealand made radio was impossible by Springfield and the remaining New Zealand one received Christchurch only. The 'Clarion' and Ten' appeared greatly superior giving local and Dunedin and West Coast Stations with ease while travelling. It was obvious that the 'Ten' and 'Clarion' were vastly superior. En route Hokitika to Haosf it was possible to listen to 3YC and 4YC, while Brand X was good for the West Coast Station only. South of Fox a comprehensive lest was carried out. Brand X was capable of use on two West Coast Stations, 20-odd stations were heard on both the ‘ Ten" and ' Clarion'’ brands. At Knights Point IZB Auckland was dearly received along with many other stations. A later test was mode on a trip to the Egglington Volley, with the ’Ten’ and ’Clarion’ good reception. The New Zealand mode (Brand X) was discarded because it was just not good enough.
