STANDARDISED RADIO
11 SETS A MINUTE ATWATER KENT PROGRESS Construction of radio receivers is definitely passing out of the experimental and home-building stage and entering the field of standardised production. The Atwate.r Kent firm in U.S.A. proposes to duplicate its plant which already covers 15 acres, and can turn out receivers at the rate of 11 a minute during peak periods. Just as with automobiles, this large scale production effects economies, so that increased efficiency has been accompanied by a lowering of prices. Atwater Kent, the genius behind this organisation, entered the field of radio production only five years ago. but now occupies a position analagous to that of the great producers in the motor industry. The extension to the factory springs from the fillip given to commercial radio production by the adoption of receivers worked from home powerpoints.
