ORCHESTRION
A diaphragm made of a new metallic composition,
the elements of which are a secret, is the feature
of the new phonic sound box being produced by the
industrial products division of the Freed-Eisemann
Radio Corporation of Brooklyn, N. Y. The sound
box is notable for the fact that it gives the most
perfect reproduction of both low and high notes
and will not "blast" when subjected to extreme vol-
ume of sound. Keith L. Saunders, manager of the
industrial products division of Freed-Eisemann, said
recently that the new sound box offers great possi-
bilities to radio. It can be adapted to all phono-
graphs without the use of tools. In order to assist
stores handling general or miscellaneous merchan-
dise to meet the demand for the modern phonograph,
