Radio Digest (June 1932-Mar 1933)

Radio Digest ^keyAau umi cant, bid ^et Enjoyable Programs Every day of M Pioneer Designer of 'round the world broadcast receivers. Seven years ago, newspaper and magazine editors gave columns and columns of space to the amazing performance of a theretofore unknown receiver. They heralded the advent of transoceanic reception, on the broadcast band (200-550 meters) as the greatest radio achievement of the age. They named the receiver "World Record Super," because it brought in 117 programs from 19 stations, ALL OVER 6000 miles away, and WTTHIN THE SHORT SPACE OF 13 WEEKS. This receiver was the work of E. H. Scott, who believed that a radio set designed in accord with certain advanced ideas of his own, and engineered to micrometric precision, would do things no other receiver was ever able to do. These sets were built in the laboratory. Not even a screw was touched by an unscientific hand, and tho radio industry was giveu a new target. During the following years, E. H. Scott set still higher standards for radio's performance. Today, as tho culmination of these efforts, he offers the Scott All-Wave, a hand-built instrument of scientific precision that is sold with a guarantee of regular, 'round the world reception, or YOUR money back. ANY prominent radio engineers STILL contend that dependable daily reception of extremely distant foreign stations is impossible. "It can't be done !" they shout. They insist that the distance is too great — that atmospheric conditions are too variable — that signal strength is insufficiently constant — that if foreign reception is to be obtained at all, an iJeal location must be had — and, last, that there is no receiver generally available today that is sensitive enough to bring in foreign stations regularly. Many of those making these statements are receiver manufacturers ; men who have been forced to conclude that mass production methods cannot produce receivers capable of regular foreign reception. Seeming disbelief in the practicability of foreign reception is therefore the result of someone's failure. The only reason for sincere disbelief is ignorance of the facts. You are entitled to the truth. It is your privilege to know the FACTS, because the most interesting — the most enjoyable world of radio is to be found between 15 and 200 meters. Hence, I have written this answer to disbelievers and to the unadvised, and I am spending my own money to publish these four pages of FACTS. You will find in them a full explanation of what foreign reception is , how regularly it comes in ; what the programs are and how they sound. In addition — you'll find undeniable PROOF that the Scott All-Wave 15-550 meter Superheterodyne is certain to give you enjoyable round the world reception every day of every month of the year. Yes, EVERY day, even y /) A during the summer months ! I say, " You CAN do it !''^^>tcW ^ ACT L ALLY— the whole world on a dial.
