RADIO BROADCAST ADVERTISER 843 RESULTS! Laboratory Data THE following laboratory tests were made with the Penetrola on April 30, 1925. Measurements for volume and selectivity were taken with a General Radio Co. type 164 Audibility Meter, a precision instrument giving comparative values of signal intensity (the effect on the human ear is less than the actual differences recorded on the Audibility Meter;. Standard regenerative, tuned R. F., neutrodyne, super-heterodyne, reflex, etc., sets were tested. SELECTIVITY TESTS Receiver Desired Station Inter fering Station Tuned R. F.

The following results are guaranteed on even the best sets: 1. Increase selectivity. A powerful aid in penetrating interference from local stations. Will positively bring in stations you can't get without it. 2. Increase range and volume. See laboratory tests in column to left Without the Penetrola Unit, CXRW, for example could not be heard, while WGN had a signal intensity of 150. With the Penetrola CXRW could be heard with a signal intensity of 1,300 while WGN was inaudible. Interference entirely eliminated. VOLUME TEST 5 tube Tuned R. F. Receiver Without Penetrola With Penetrola Desired Station WOAI San Antonio 2,000 Interfering Station These figures show an actual increase of energy in the 'phone circuit of 188 times. 3, Reduce static by permitting use of short aerial while actually increasing signal intensity. 4c Improve quality by making it unnecessary for you to operate your set close to the oscillating (howling) point. 5o Positively stop your set from radiating to the annoyance of neighboring fanso The Penetrola will add more in performance than many times its cost invested in a new set. In most cases your new combination will out-perform the best set on the market. Jobbers and Dealers: Write for discounts W ALBERT MANUFACTURING CO. 927 Wrightwood Ave., CHICAGO, U. S. A.
