The "Porta-Mobil" was chosen from a number of similar
transmitters/receivers after several months of evaluation by Fire

this is justified by their much greater flexibility. An additional
39 sets are on order.
Note to Editors:
Copies of photographs of the 'Porta Mobil" transmitter/receiver sets are boxed for collection.
