United Transformer Corp. took possession of a new and larger plant at 150 Varick St., N. Y. City, as of Feb. 1. Offices are there, too, and the setup is thirty times bigger than UTC original home, opened in 1934. FREQUENCY MODULATION EXPERIMENTAL (Continued from page 17) Major Armstrong states that there will be but little increase in the cost of producing a radio set that will handle both frequency and amplitude modulated broadcasts on the ultrahigh frequencies. So from the economic angle there is nothing to feai*. With the frequency modulated transmissions the dealers will be in a position to demonstrate real highfidelity and static-free reception. With better reception, it is very likely that the public will again turn to higherpriced sets capable of receiving the full benefit of the possible higher fidelity. But all this is in the future. Also these TJ-H-F receivers can be used to receive the audio part of the television broadcasts, so when these sets for frequency modulation come of age, they will fit perfectly into the tele set-up. But all these optimistic possibilities about frequency-modulated transmissions are not going to buy today's bread and butter. Smart dealers will recognize it only as something for the future — they will sell today's present receivers and broadcasting system. They will explain to the public that they should buy a radio set today, for they will continue to use it for years to come — that before it becomes obsolete because of changes in the broadcasting system, they will want a new set.
