Exide Offers New
Power Units

a new contribution to meet the
public demand for socket power for
radio has been made by the Electric
Storage Battery Company" said
Merle Wilson, of the Wilson Ma
chine shop, local Exidc dealer.
They have Just announced the ad-
dition of two new radio power units
to the Exidc linc-a. super cab
socket power unit and super
"B' power unit.
"This "A and 'B' power unit is
the latest IN socket power develop.
mcnt. 1t consists OF an automatic
charging method at high and low
rates for the storage "A' battery
and system of electrolytic rectifi
cation for the ID power supply
1.-THE automatic charging feature
insures rapid replacement in the a
battery of current used in the oper-
alton of the set. Full automatic
control of both the A and b pow
er is at the set switch. An special.
ly designed automatic relay master
control switch makes possible this
feature of performance. Two rheo-
stats provide separate regulation of
the b deteetor and the b ampli-
fier voltages, to suit the require
ments of the individual radio re-
ceiver. The voltage range of the
detector is from 20 to 45 volts and
that of the amplifier voltagcs, to
suit the requirements of the individ-
ual radio receiver. The voltage
range of the detector is from 90 to
40 volts and that of theamplifier
from 60 to 100 volts. This is in ad-
dition to the power tube voltages
which are 49, and $50 volts, res
peetively.

To COVER
5,40Q MILES

An Oldsmohile dealer left the
factory at Lansing, Mich, several
days ago to drive to his place OF
business. He expects to arrive in
about four months-and that is
good time considering the fact
that he will have driven approx
mately $500 miles and travelled in
a steamer from San Francisco to
Australia.
This longest Oldsmobile drive
away in the history of the oldest
company in the industry is being
taken by George Pethard, proprie-
tor of Pethard Motors, Bendigo,
Victoria, Australia.
This is Pethard's first trip to
the American continent. He ar
rived at Vancouver April 1 and
since then has travelled throughout
the Dominion and through eastern
sections of the United States. His
route after leaving the Oldsmobile
factory at Lansing Is across the
continent to Los Angeles, thence
up the coast to Seattle and return.

will sail for Sydney. 1t will be

route across country-roads of
