An gust 16 Radio Doings 47 IMELYrXRAHEiTDPICS^ The Polyniet Manufacturins: Company reports receiving a substantial volume of orders from its regular sources. This company supplies a good percentage of R.C.A. licensed radio manufacturers with coils, condensers, resistances and transformers. According to Sidney Spector, California representative, Polymet opened up new fields for its products such as new types of condensers for sound equipment for theatres and transformers for amplifying outfits. The Triad Tube Company, after many months of experimenting, have finally introduced their new and improved type 50 power tube and a type 81 rectifying tube. The samples of the new tubes which have been submitted to the manufacturers of amplifying equipment have proved very satisfactory and in almost every case the manufacturers have placed large orders, according to Mr. Ray Noel, the California representative for this company. The new National Short Wave set has found great favor with the airplane transport companies and two of the largest have standardized on this equipment, installing one in each of their planes. One of these companies was so pleased with the results of their tests that they are going to put a National Short Wave set in each of their pilot's homes so that they will be able to communicate directly with their families when on a trip. Mr. W. H. Cooke, Southern California representative, is being kept busy these days trying to get enough sets to supply the demand of this market. Sol Zaney, head of the Zaney-Gill Corporation of Los Angeles, is getting to be one of our fastest-moving executives. He barely got back from the R. M. A. Convention when he headed for the San Francisco Convention, and from that he took a flying trip to Chicago, New York and points in between. While in the East he added several new distributors to his already large list and made arrangements to start a factory to supply the Middle Western and Eastern market. The Music Box Clarion is gaining in popularity and it would surprise many of the Eastern radio manufacturers to know of the number of sets being produced daily by this progressive concern. Charlie Kierulff and Al Ravenscroft seem to have renewed life these days as they are buzzing around opening up new dealers and telegraphing almost daily for additional shipments of sets. Both of these men. who have been in the radio game for many years, believe that they have the best line ever put out by Crosley, and that means something, for Crosley sets have consistently "clicked" with the public for the last seven years. A gang of the boys, led by Ray Yale and Fred Dean, went out to the Johanna Smith the other night, that well lighted and popular barge which rests some three or four miles off shore from Long Beach. They all enjoyed a very excellent dinner, then tried their luck with some of the games. According to reports, Lady Luck was not with them, so before they take the trip again they are going to have to feel very lucky. Radio Financing ROBERT E.
