PROGRESS OF RADIO.
EXHIBITION AT OLYMPIA. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, Aug. 13. Olympia is busily preparing for this year’s radio exhibition, which opens on Thursday, and which is attracting many visitors from abroad, as well as from all over Britain. There are now between six and seven million wireless license-holders in Britain, and the figure lias grown to this lingo total with amazing rapidity. A flourishing and progressive industry has sprung up, in which competition is so keen that it is estimated a 20 per cent, decrease in prices will accompany a 20 per cent, increase in performance compared with the sets offered last year. Low-priced television sets will also be a feature of the exhibition, while broadcasting artists will give programmes in a temporary theatre with accommodation for 3000 people.
