After all, built-in radios are, a logical development.. In the'nianu facture of sets the speaker and chassis may be considered quite separately from the cabinet. Now a manufacturer can only stock one or two types of cabinets for a given set with the result that while a cer- tain make of set has just the tone you want the limited line of cabinets offered fails to give you would fit into something which your room.
