RADIO PRODUCTION GROWS
Radio apparatus and tubes valued at $191,848,665
were manufactured in the United States in 1927, the
biennial census of 1928 taken by the Department of
Commerce shows. This is an increase of 8.4 per cent
as compared with $176,990,334 for 1925, the last pre-
ceding census year.
The production of tube-type receivers in 1927 was
1,938,192, valued at $94,050,031, a decrease of 19.1 per
cent in number, but an increase of seven-tenths of 1
per cent in value as compared with 2,395,700 sets, val-
ued at $93,356,546, in 1925. The production of socket
power devices in 1927 aggregated 1,405,191, with a
value of $23,357,814, or 13.4 per cent of the total value
of radio apparatus manufactured during the year.
The production of socket power devices was very
small in 1925, and the value was not reported sep-
arately, but was included in the value of miscella-
neous radio parts.
returning to America, he will embody his findings in
equipment for the transcontinental service. "I have
great hopes for the use of radio on planes," Mr. Pan-
nill said. "In time the number of radio installations
on planes will far exceed those on ships. So far as
the ships go, there is no reason wry, in time, there
should not be constant communication on shipboard
from both shores. To achieve that, however, it will
be necessary to develop the short wave apparatus."

completed to replace the one burned early this year,
at which time the contents were almost entirely de-
