RADIO EXPORTS
BRITAIN LAUGHS AT U-BOATS. The U-boats failed to catch £1,298,832 worth of radio exports from Great Britain last year. India took 20,900 units, or more than double the total for the year before. The average price of The receiving sets sent to India was, at the exporting end, £6.93 or 90 rupees. High duties and freights have kept British radio sets out of the poorer Indian homes and British manufacturers are now aiming at producing a “People’s Set" especially for them. South Africa was the next best market to India, with a total value of £lOO,OOO worth of radio units and components bought and delivered last year.
