ROAD TEST ON CAR RADIOS AWA CLARION TEN Much written spoce is devoted to the performance of cars. To ossist the public we conducted tests on cor radios. Two N.Z. mode brands, X ond Y, one Joponese partially assembled in N.Z. (Clarion) and one imported from Japan (Ten). The test route was Christchurch to Christchurch via the Haast Poss. The results confirmed bench tests. One New Zealand mode radio was impossible by Springfield and the remaining New Zealand made 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” ond "Clarion” were vastly superior. En route Hokitika to Haast it was possible to listen to 3YC ond 4YC, while Brand X was good for the West Coast Station only. South of Fox a comprehensive test 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 clearly received along with many other stations. A later test was made on a trip to the Egglington Valley, with the “Ten and “Clarion” good reception. The New Zealand made (Brand X), was discarded because it was not just good enough. These radios in most coses cost less than the more familiar New Zealand made radios.
