on 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

THIS year's National Radio Exhibition opens at Olympia tomorrow, and goes on until the end of next week. The Exhibition is one of those new and vigorous institutions that really do become bigger and better every year, and listeners who intend to visit
Olympia should value tonight's talk as a guide amongst its embarrassment of riches, while those who cannot go will enjoy it as the next best thing.
Sir William Bull , who will talk on the exhibition, is a prominent figure in the wider world of business and politics, as well as in the wireless trade. He has been a member of Parliament since 1900, representing Hammersmith for eighteen years. and South Hammersmith since 1918; he is senior partner in a famous firm of solicitors, chairman of a firm of bronze founders, and a director of one of the biggest companies of electrical engineers. He has done much active work on the London County Council, and served on the Speaker's Conference on electoral reform in 1916. In addition, he was vice-chairman of the British Broadcasting Company, which was solely responsible for the conduct of broadcasting in this country during the early and critical days of pioneering and first steps, and only resigned its charge when the present Corporation took over at the beginning of last year. He is, therefore, in a position to speak with authority on the occasion of the exhibition that forms the chief event in the year for the technical side of British Wireless.
