Looking Better This Year.

Parts look much better than they
did last year. y greater appeal Is
being made to the eye because many
fans select parts and sets on the basis
of their appearance.
More and more, manufacturers are
designing their parts on the basis Of
utility, logic and appearance.
The lowly dial has not escaped this
trend of the times for Improvement
of details.
The old types Of dials with the num-
hers on the dial itself and scratch
mark on the panel to act as n refer
eEce line are fast disappearing.
Their place is being taken by dials
which have been designed with the
idea of common usage, beauty and
utility III mind.
The method shown in the receiver
illustrated is rapidly crowding the
dial method off the map. This system
is much simpler and Is more in ac-
cordance with common usage.
\ clock IS made so that the num-
bers on the dial are stationary and
the hands OF the clock or indicators
rotate. In that way it is a simpler
matter to read the time than it would
be if the dial rotated and the hands
stood still. The reason, of course. is
due to the fact that the pointer is
seen very easily while the numbers
are not So easily read. 1t is possible
