CONSIDERED by prominent /
~ radio engineers as the greatest
and ln0st revolutionary achievement
in the perfection Of broadcast re-
ceiving apparatus, an automatic
radio receiver has been perfected |
after years Of research and was
demonstrated last week by Harry
N. Marvin, retired millionaire in
vent)r OF automatic devices, at his
cauutrv home at Rye, N. Y The |
nrsr public demonstration Of this
new automatic development which |
may make the present type set obso-
lete will be made at the Radio |
Worlds Fair at Madison Square |
Garden in September.
Marvin's invention demonstrated |
that dials can be eliminated from all |
future radio receiving sets. Instead |
Of the tireSOme tuning and turning |
of one or more dialS, now essential |
when any particular station is re-
Quired, all that a person need do |
is press a button ON the front of |
the set and it will be autOma tically /
tuned in on the wave length desired. |
