A Well-Made Place for a Well-Made Set For Those Who Can Spare One of Their Book-Case Sections, This Manner of Installing the Receiving Set Is Worth Considering NOW YOU SEE IT AND NOW YOU DON'T The fan who begins with a neat set each evening and ends with a set plus wire, parts, junk, tools, etc. is advised against this scheme A UNUSUAL feature of the receiving outfit constructed by Mr. John Showalter, of Wabash, Indiana, is the place in which it is kept. Only one shelf in the center section of a three-section bookcase had to be removed in order to install the complete three-tube receiver, storage battery, charger, and B batteries. The simplicity of the arrangement is what will appeal to many enthusiasts. You merely close up the desk board, draw across the curtain, and you have a library again instead of a radio corner. Mr. Showalter has heard over 130 different broadcasting stations with the three-circuit honeycomb coil outfit shown in the accompanying illustration. I n the winter, he has often been able to pick up KHJ, Los Angeles, 1800 miles from his home. His is not the apparatus of a broadcast fan, however; for he says that he "hates to see the amateur telegrapher fade into oblivion as the so-called broadcasting craze springs into more and more prominence."
