Thanks to the "multi-coll" principle, a new develop- ment in radio design, invaualble for good reception of the short-wave broadcast bands, the 335 has got the start of many other all-wave receivers. In this design cach wave-band of the entire range is allotted Its own' special series of accurately. dimensioned coils. Each coll has its individual and separate place in the assembly. This has raised reception to a standard that has hitherto been unknown in any other ser because' no " other manufacturer than Philips. is using the "multi-coil" principle. In the 355 the wavelength-range, has been subdivided into 5 bands corres- ponding to an equal number of dial scales. Each band has three carefully screened calls of its own so that $. times 3 coil-cans, laltogether 15 coll- cans! are included in the chassis as- sembly of the 335 set. The range 13.5 -220 m. has been subdivided into three over-lapping parts, cach having its own dial reading. The frequency- linear calibration of the dial eliminates. the possibility, especially in the case of.. the shortest waves, of stations getting crowded on the dial.
