  • Notes
  • This Frame Aerial Set consists of a special three-valve set designed to tune within the B.B.C. band of wavelengths (300-500 metres) when used with the Western Electric Frame Aerial.
    Three Wecovalves are used, hence accumulators are unnecessary three dry cells suffice for the filaments, and a 45-volt high-tension battery is required for the plate circuit.
    As is usual with frame aerial sets, the range is somewhat limited, but increased freedom from interference is secured, apart from the actual fact that no external connection, either aerial or earth, is necessary with this type of Set.
