High Production Levels Maintained Mr. Folsom rcponed that in the domestic field, RCA and other leading manufacturers in the industry main- tained relatively high levels of production of television and radio sets, as well as phonograph records during 1951. Purchases of TV receivers by the American public during the year reached approximately 5,000,000, bringing the total in use throughout the Nation to more than 15,000,000 sets, he reported. He declared that these sales, plus new installation and servicing, added more than $1,500,000,000 to the national income. Increases in transmitting power and improvement in TV receiver design were cited as contributing to the widening receiver distribution potentials in areas pres- ently served by television. "Numerous sections of large cities, as well as rural communities, where reception has been either impossible or of marginal value, are now gening excellent television pictures for the first time," said Mr. Folsom.
