TWO GULBRANSEN
SCREEN-GRID MODELS
Gulbransen Co. Has Started on Production
Schedule Calling for 1,000 Sets Daily.
The Gulbransen Company of Chicago, whose advent
into the radio industry was recently made known,
has now started operations on a definite production
17
are now being produced in our factories," said
Mr. Gorman.
"Each embodies certain distinctive features such as
condensers and filters synchronized to an extent that
in 'gain testing' only four millionths of a volt toler-
ance are permitted; ten-inch dynamic speakers operat-
ed through extra high quality audio systems using
full one-inch cube laminated cores; a local and long
distance switch; and a phonograph-radio switch
operated by the same knob that controls the AC
switch (patent applied for). Advanced double pri-
try and belief in the challenging performance of our
product."
The Gulbransen screen-grid model No. 292, equipped
with a ten-inch dynamic speaker, is built of fine
walnut and beautiful veneers, and is a product of true
guild craftsmanship.
Condensers and filters syn-
chronized to within four millionths of a volt give it
extreme sensitivity. Double primary circuit produces
the same results on high waves as on low. No antenna
or ground connection is normally needed. Other dis-
tinctive features are a local and long distance switch,
a true single illuminated dial, and a phonograph-radio
switch operated by the same knob that controls AC
switch (patent applied for). Price $149.50.
The Gulbransen model No. 291 embodies the same
principles of construction and mechanical features as
the model No. 292. Screen-grid and 245 power tubes;
condensers and filters which are synchronized to an
extent that permits only four millionths of a volt tol-
erance in "gain testing"; local and long distance
switch, and a phonograph-radio switch operated by
the sanie^kriob. that controls AC switch (patent ap-
plied for) are distinctive features of this new radio
model. Price $139.50.
PHONOGRAPH RECORDS IN BRAZIL
Trade Commissioner W. G. McCreery, at Sao Paulo,
Brazil, states that the showing of American "talkies"
has stimulated the demand for phonograph records.
When talking pictures whose theme music has been
recorded on phonograph records are shown, the record
retailers advertise the appropriate selections before,
at the time, and after the film appears. It is reported
that in several cases the retailers have sold out their
complete stocks by this method.
PHONOGRAPH FACTORY AT DUBLIN.
The phonograph factory which was established in
the early part of 1929 in Dublin, Ireland, is, according
to Consul General Cornelius Ferris, progressing very
satisfactorily. The factory is modern in design and
equipment. Negotiations are under way for the
taking over of a recording studio. The management
states that the factory has a capacity for making
5,000 records a day and that in the autumn it hopes
to approach that figure.

"Two models of screen-grid sets, one a highboy

high and low wave stations.
"The sets are licensed under R. C. A., Hazeltine
and Miessner patents, and were originally revealed to
the trade at the R. M. A. radio show in Chicago in
June of this year.
"We are applying to the construction of our radio
cabinets the same skill and fine attention to detail
which has characterized our piano craftsmanship since
1907, and are entering upon the manufacture of radio
sets with great confidence in the future of the indus-
