ANUMBER of important claims is made for the Easiway sunshine roof, which is a product of Steclall and Co., Ltd., Broad Street, Bloomsbury, London, W.C.2. Of the folding type, the roof is built as a unit and may be
fitted to existing bodies. For the smaller passenger vehicle a unit giving an opening of 8 ft. by 4 ft. may be used, On vehicles of the 32-seater class, two units may usefully be employed, the centre bridge-piece between the two opening sections acting as a brace for the roof.
The Easiway head is easily operated, and folds back on to the outside edges of the main roof. Ventilators of any type can easily be fitted, whilst the incorporation of this type of folding head in no way weakens the body.
The standard unit, assembled ready for fixing, is priced at 24 10s., whilst the double section, with a stronger centr'e bridge, costs PHILIPS 1937 COACH RADIO EASY TO FIX.
UST introduced, the 1937 Philips
Moto Radio has several notable features. The receiver comprises a sixvalve superheterodyne circuit, including an effective interference elimination system which avoids the need for sparking-plug suppressors. Simple installation by means of one-hole fixing is one of its major virtues.
The receiver, which is extremely compact, can be mounted in almost any position, due to the use of a swivelling junction box fitted to the front of the receiver, which avoids undue distortion of the control cables.
The set is made in two models—with an inbuilt speaker, or with a separate one ; the latter should appeal to coach operators, as it may be fixed in any convenient position. More than one speaker may be used.
During a recent test near London, most of the home stations and a number of Continentals were received with clarity and ample volume for any size of coach.
The receiver costs 14k guineas with a built-in speaker and 16i guineas with a separate speaker. Further details may be obtained from Philips Lamps. Ltd. (Car Radio Department), 145, Charing Cross Road, London, W.C.2.
