Select Set Blindfolded! A novel test for selecting a Radio Receiving Set was used by the Amesbury, Mass., Radio Club, in choosing the equipment which they are giving, to the Amesbury Hospital as a means of entertaining patients during their convalescence. A committee of nine elub members met a few nights ago to decide what set will be the master receiver for the earphones beside each bed. The Radio Experts were blindfolded, and the test began. The “Haverill Gazette” reports the contest as follows: — “In order to afford fair treatment to radio exhibitors, tlie committee convened in one of the hospital rooms and listened to recepidon. They did not know the order in which the exhibits were being nw.de, nor the set exhibited. The final selection was based on quality of reception, volume and selectivity. After all the receivers had been heard and the committee's choice designated, it proved to be a KOLSTER RADIO.” INTERNATIONAL RADIO CO. LTD. FORD BUILDINGS :: WELLINGTON. Australasian Agents.
