Numann, general advertising manager for Phillips, of Eindhoven, Holland, takes exception to an item on Page 13 in December Radio Today, that the supply of Dutch radio equipment has been curtailed by the war. "Not only is this wrong," writes Mr. Numann, "but on the contrary the supply is increasing all the time. The Phillips Company in its exports is ahead of last year. Phillips at present is operating from no less than 48 factories throughout the world, and so can always supply the goods whenever and wherever needed." Maker of Record Bar Runs at Full Speed "A very excellent sales demand for the 'Record Bar' throughout the U. S." is reported by the A. Bitter Construc tion Co., Long Island City, N. Y., manufacturers of the fixture-merchandiser for retailers of records. The "Bar" was designed by Radio Today as a complete department for stocking, demonstrating, displaying and selling records. According to the report, the Bitter firm has received orders from Davega City Radio Co., the large eastern chain, for bars for each of their stores. Other dealers in 10 different states have had the bars installed. The product comes in various colors which contrast pleasantly with the other colors in the store, so that the record department may become the most attractive section on the shop. SPECIAL TUBES FOR SOUND WORK RELEASED BY NATIONAL UNION 13 SOUND X/TRA TYPES AVAILABLE Demonstrably Better! The chief requirement for National Union's new SOUND X/TRA tube types is that they must be demonstrably better. In order to accomplish this outstanding performance in SOUND X/TRA types, modification in construction and details of engineering were incorporated. Emission limits are very high to insure exceptional uniformity, long life and adequate power handling capacity. Gas and grid current are held to exceptionally low limits to insure minimum distortion, uniformity and stability. Every tube is carefully tested for hum and microphonics and, where necessary, changes have been made in construction such as the use of special micas, extra rugged supports, double helix heaters, special insulation, etc. The thirteen SOUND X/TRA types now available cover the major percentage of replacement requirements. SOUND X/TRA types can be substituted in all cases for the same type of tube in the regular line. This means they can be used for special audio work in any amplifier, public address, inter-office system or other audio device where the identical type number is specified but where improved performance is desirable. SOUND specialists have long hoped for extra quality tubes engineered specifically for the requirements of SOUND work . . . they're here now in National Union SOUND X/TRA types. See them! Buy them!
