Description

The crucial decade for the development of domestic wireless was 1924-34. At the beginning of the period most receivers in England were crystal sets but by the end nearly all sets were on the mains, using valves and mostly with superhet circuits - broadly the same as those in use today. This book describes the broadcasting trends and receiver developments in Europe and America and includes a detailed account of wireless development in Britain. The vital changes in radio valves are described and the book concludes with an account of the rise and fall of home construction of wireless receivers from kits of parts. In the early years it was a nationwide activity. By the end of the decade it had virtually died out. Sets had become too complex for the amateur and commercially produced sets were almost as cheap as construction kits.
