“ Of all instruments and devices used in radio work, the audion bulb is by far the most difficult to learn how to handle. Probably 90% of the amateurs of the country do not know how to get the best results from an audion bulb nor how to keep the bulb in best working condition. The information given in Mr. Cole's article is the first time that all of the latest details known about the audion have been put together in one article in such form that the amateur can understand it. ”

“ We predict an immense improvement in receiving ability throughout the country as a result of the amateurs in the League reading this article of Mr. Cole's.
The audion bulb is regarded by the amateur in general as one of the expensive luxuries. In talking with many amateur station owners, it seems that the impression prevails that not only does a bulb and its accompanying set cost quite a bit, but it costs a lot to replenish burned out bulbs. ”

“ There is so much to do that a lot of people must be identified in the job in order to carry it on. Establishing local stations at San Francisco, Chicago and some point near New York is distinctly the next thing for us to do. Let every one of us who actually operates and who is qualified to vote, send in his pick for the best local headquarters in the cities mentioned. ”
