The aim of the design of the Chakophone receiving set is to produce the highest efficiency in action accompanied by the simplicity of operation. The range of receiving equipment shown by this company includes crystal receivers, two-valve receivers of various patterns, two-valve power amplifiers, a four-valve cabinet receiver, and in addition a one-valve set in which a reflex circuit is employed. The instruments are manufactured in a variety of patterns and cabinets according to the taste of the user. The sets are all thoroughly good and can be relied upon to give highly efficient results. The instruments are built in such a manner as to avoid complicated tuning adjustments. Accessories of all varieties are offered, including complete sets of parts and the many minor components required in instrument construction. Eagle Engineering Co Ltd was founded in 1907 as a successor to William Glover and Sons at Eagle Works, Saltisford, Warwick. The company specialised in customised truck bodies, trailers, petrol engines, and radios. [1] Radios were manufactured from 1923 until the mid-1930s. Eagle Engineering was acquired by Hestair Group in 1972 and merged with the vehicle manufacturer, Dennis Brothers Ltd.
