readers and prospective radio purchasers
of radio sets latest information on ev-
erything new in radio.
During the past several months
many requests have como to the
radio editor for information on the
new Victor photograph and radio
combination.
Through the courtesy of the Crit
fifth Victor Distributing Company,
distributors for Victor products in
Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, we
have had the opportunity to test
this set under the most exacting
conditions.
The new Victor radio is a power
operated, tuned radio frequency re-
ceiver of the antenna type, contain
ing four stages Of tuned and neu-
tralized radio frequency ampliflca-
ton in addition to a fifth or cou-
ping stage. 1t is housed in wall
type cabinet of walnut, beautifully
constructed and finished. The Com
bination Electrola and radio is COM
posed of the radio set, the power
amplifler, the Electrola playing
equipment, and the Victor electro
dynamic speaker.
Has Three Features
The new Victor has three out
standing features, the first is a
mechanical system of micrometer
adjustments which permits a pre-
cision alignment of the set with
resulting high degree of sensitivity
and selectivity.
The adjustment is not fixed at |
an average point, but automatically |
follows through the complete range |
of the dial, changing as required,
from point to point. In this man
ner the set is balanced at the fac
tory with an absolute degree Of &C
curacy to the particular set OF coils
and condensers, which it contains.
The second feature of the New |
Victor is the tuning device known
as the automatic, micro-synchron-
GUS tuning lever operating over an
illuminated scale, calibrated in kilo-
cycles, with space on top for mark
ing the station positions.
Micro synchornism brings the
condensers into perfect resonance.
BY this you get accurate celebration
of the scale, with stations appear
ing on the dial at their actual fire.
quency.
Excellent Tone
The third feature of the new Vic
tor is the tone. The new dynamic
speaker developed by Victor gives
perfect tone over the entire musical
scale, all is heard from the deep
bass notes to the high notes Of the
violin and soprano voice. The same
speaker is used for both radio and
record reproduction.
Another feature of the new Victor
is the Harmonic Modulator" which
controls emphasis on the bass sec
ton of the scale.
BY the turn of a screw you can
regulate the bass to suit your pref
erence, or the acoustic qualities of
the room.
During the test stations were
tuned in with almost local volume
from Denver to New York, and with
the advent of cold weather this set
should receive west coast stations
with almost as much volume as the
locals.
One naturally expects great things
from a large manufacturing con-
Germ like Victor. We do not believe
that you will be disappointed with
the new Victor; in fact, you will re-
ceive a surprise when you listen to
this new set. Victor combination
and radio receivers are sold in In
dianapolis through twelve dealers,
and are distributed by the Griffith
Victor Distributing Company, Ter
minal Warehouse building. This |
company also operates branches in
Cincinnati and Louisville. A COM
plete line of the new Victors is be-
ing shown at the state fair radio
show this week.
