NOW IF THEY CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE OLD SNOW SHOVEL
Snowtime in the Sierras is now lots of fun — thanks to radio.
Time was when snowplow operators nearly went nuts seeing nothing but mountains of white and hearing only the roar of a tractor day in and day out. Eadio technician John Eaar changed that by selling the State of California a radio for every plow, using the loneliness angle as his sales point.
Now, plowmen can tune in the latest world news, or even receive an SOS if anything goes wrong and they are needed urgently.

68 NEW TUBE TYPES REGISTERED IN 1938
Eecent release from E.M.A. points out that registration has been made for 68 radio tube types during 1938, of which 10 are metal and the balance glass. Incidentally, seven new 150 mil. 12-volt and 50-volt types are not included in this list. Television tubes are also omitted.
It looks as though the octal and loktal type bases are here to stay for 65 of the 68 tubes use these types of
bases, and the remaining three tubes employ a 4-prong or UX-type base.
Fortunately for the radio servicemen most of the added types are not radically new, so with slight changes, tube testing equipment in the field can be used. 25 per cent of the new tubes are the bantam type having an equivalent in the octal-glass. Likewise the new single-ended tubes are equivalent to types with a top cap. But jobbers and dealers are not so fortunate, for it is necessary to stock many of these to meet every-day replacement requirements.
Eyes on the tube, gentlemen. It's the millionth midget GT type made by Arcturus Tube Co. of Newark, N. J., and gazing fondly at it are, left to right, V.p. J. A. Stobbe, Chief eng. Abbott Feindel, Plant Super A. E. Lyle and Sales Manager
