WIRELESS INDUSTRY
GROWING AND PROSPEROUS IN GREAT BRITAIN EXHIBITION IN LONDON RUGBY, Saturday. When the national radio exhibition is opened at Olympia, London, on Friday, one of Britain’s youngest but most prosperous industries will display its products. This industry has no unemployed. It is growing with great rapidity. It provides work for more than 1.000,000 people, and represents £80,000,000 of capital. Since last year’s exhibition six large new factories for the mass production of wireless sets have been built. At Olympia 200 firms, all prosperous, will exhibit products ranging from the smallest terminal to the largest valve in the world, embodying the last word in the science of wireless. Broadcasting in Britain continues to grow enormously. and there is a steady increase of 20,000 new wireless licence-holders each month. Seven years ago there were only 173,000 licences in force, whereas now there are 3,200,000.
