75,000 people were employed [on_the_production side alone;
$12,000,000 is the capital of the wireless trade; 967,000 Bri- tish made sets, valued at a total figure of £14,092,000, were sold during the 12 months.
This is in spite of the fact that fewer new licences ́were taken out in 1933 than in the year before.
More than half a-million of the sets sold were built to be run off the electricity maine. The aver age price of this type of set has fallen from £24 in 1929 to $15 last year:
