LONDON. ADIOLYMPIA, after eight years' absence, is
back in all its blaring, shining glory,
Unlike so many modern exhibitions, this is no frustration show. "For export only" is not its theme. You may actually give orders for sets from £10 to £1,000 with the knowledge that you will get it soon--perhaps even tomorrow.
Main points of the exhibition:
·
Now designs provide plenty to admire, but nothing to astonish;
Television comes into its own;
Safety of aircraft, detection of crime, and efficiency in industry are among the subjects covered by demonstrations of the latest devices in radio, radar and electronics;
Public entertainment ranges from "Itma" in person to television's "Picture Page."
THE streamlined, brightly coloured plastic chassis is the main appearance feature of the average sot. But if you are both old-fashioned and well off you may prefer a mahogany radio- plus-bookcase for £460.
Push-button tuning is on view, but not parti- cularly prominent, as makers find that listeners prefer to twiddle,
Since ranging the ultimate ether has declined in popularity as an indoor sport, comparatively few short-wave sets are exhibited.
Noveltica include the £10 midgets and the set that switches itself on at any fixed time.
