message: I am not sure how to fix this, Bakelite is a thermoseting plastic, which means it won't melt!  BUT it is Very Brittle.  It is also Opaque.
The picture at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Radio_Diora_Pionier_U2_1.jpg
actually looks more like bakelite than wood, but I can't tell for sure.
Thermoplastic did sometimes melt.  Many of the thermoplastics are semitransparent.  cmacd 15:03, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The acronyms PAT and HT appear in this article, but if you click on either of them, there are quite a few things each might mean, and I was not able to figure out which were correct.  Note: I am American, and I suspect PAT might be a regional TLA the UK, since words like aerial are also used in the article.  Maybe someone who knows what these abbreviations mean can expand them for a wider audience.  Thanks!  CosineKitty (talk) 02:01, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Five years later, the article is still an uncomfortable mixture of British and American English and terminology. PAT is Portable Appliance Test, a UK electrical safety test. HT is BE for B+. --Ef80 (talk) 00:40, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, this article is a real mess of foreign English and unexplained acronyms and Britishims. I would fix it and clarify the grammar (which neither Oxford nor Stanford would find acceptable) but usually some twit just comes along and reverts it immediately with no explanation. "Euro-phileism" is a creeping disease on Wikipedia.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.93.154.192 (talk) 20:15, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
