volume until next year.
Shortages Discounted
The only hitch appeared to be that
certain materials might be in short sup-
ply. But it is the industry's consensus
that all materials, or aceptable substi-
tutes, would be available in sufficient
quantities.
The Radio Corporation of America
has had in production for the last two
months all the transmitting and receiv-
ing equipment needed to start television
service in the ultra-high-frequency band.
Early last month K. C. A. Victor dis-
played models of its UHF "selectors,"
designed to permit owners of present-
model receivers to receive UHF tele-
casts. They can be used with any make
of set. All of the company's sets shipped
since September incorporate a VHF
tuner so designed that it can be replaced
with a combined UHF-VHF tuner.
'Package' Offer Made
The company also is offering a "pack-
aged" combination to provide all the
fundamental equipment needed by the
new UHF stations to be authorized.
The Admiral Corporation has an-
nounced that it would give free to any
of the more than 2,000,000 owners of
Admiral sets with turret tuners and to
any buyers of sets this year a tuning
strip to permit reception of UHF tele-
casts.
Richard A. Graver, vice president in
charge of electronics for Admiral, said
no outside converter was required.
Benjamin Abrams, president of Em-
erson Radio and Phonograph Corpora-
tion, predicted an increase in the indus-
try's annual volume from the $2,000.-
000.000 of last year to $5,000,000,000
or $6,000,000,006 within three vears. He
said Emerson for the last year had been
making all its receivers in such a way
as to permit a minor adjustment for re-
ception of UHF programs.
He estimated that with a tuning strip
supplied by the company a service man
could convert a receiver in about fifteen
minutes at a cost of "about $10."

Allen B. Du Mont Laboratories, Inc..
studying the effect of the F. C. C. an-
nouncement on his varied operations,
which include transmitters, receivers
a n d t h e Du Mont network. He
would defer comment until he had had
more time for study.
Jerome E. Respess, president of the
LaPointe-Plascomold Corporation, a
producer of television accessories, said
yesterday that manufacturers could
count on several years' business produc-
ing such items as antennae, pre-ampli-
fiers, rotators, conveyors, lightning ar-
restors, towers, masts, mounts, transmis-
sion lines and similar items. To handle
a sharp increase in sales volume the
company recently acquired an addition-
al plan in Rockville, Conn.- Its main
plan is in Windsor Locks, Conn.
