Show NEW TYPE SPEAKER PERFECTED ; I AFTER TWO YEARS OF TESTS l . II ii ii I ii mm For years engineers of The Cros-ley Cros-ley Radio Corporation in Cincinnati experimented with loud speakers of every conceivahle type. ' During those years Powel Cros-lcy, Cros-lcy, Jr., president, was dissatisfied with all speakers including the ones with which his own engineers were experimenting. He insisted upon a speaker that would reproduce the human voice perfectly, one that would reproduce piano music perfectly per-fectly and finally one that was attractive, at-tractive, a speaker that any woman f would be glad to have in her living !room. Engineers told Mr. Crosley I he was describing a perfect loud speaker. "That's what we want," he srtid. Then along came C. W. Peterson, a young engineer, with a new idea. He had a speaker. The principle of it was different. He had his speaker patented. It represented years of study and experimentation. He offered of-fered to give a demonstration. He pitted his model against all types of speakers. The results were start, ling Mr. Crosley immediately tumoi over the facilities of his large laboratories lab-oratories to Mr. Peterson and gave, him instructions to perfect hi speaker for large production Months later another demonstration was given and this time Mr. Crosley Cros-ley was satisfied. He gave instructions instruc-tions to go into production. It is predicted Mr. Crosley's nr. speaker will make existing types of speakers obsolete. , |
