AT the time of closing for press, there was believed to be every likelihood of the Motor Omnibus Proprietors Association (South Wales and Mon.) linking up with the Commercial Motor Users Association. The agreement was due for ratification yesterday (Thursday).
This development is rather surprising, in view of the fact that the M.O.P.A. was affiliated to the late Motor Hirers and Coach Services Association (now amalgamated with Associated Road Operators).
A NEW RADIO SET FOR COACHES.
UPWARDS of 700 Philco radio sets have, we understand, been installed in coaches in Great Britain, and the Philco Radio and Television Corporation of Great Britain, Ltd., Penvale. Middlesex, has now announced the production of a new British-made set embodying a number of important improvements.
Known as the 1803T model, the new set is provided with an extension speaker for installation in coaches. Both long and medium-wave stations are obtainable without interference, and an improved system of automatic control is incorporated.
Of the six-valve type, this set has a nine-stage superhet circuit, and the current consumption on the 12-volt model is only 2.6 amps. A neat remotecontrol dial is provided and only three control knobs are required.
Priced at 20 guineas, the new equipment is available for either 12-volt or 6-volt operation, and the cost of installation is in the region of £5. The Philco concern's sole concessionnaire for the motor trade is Deko-Remy and Hyatt, Ltd., Ill, Grosvenor Road, London. S.W.I, and demonstrations are available at radio dealers and at all Delco service stations.
The new Philco models incorporate all the suggestions for safety made by the Ministry of Transport.
