In those days the Armstrong regenerative set was the highest de velopment of the art; a three-tube set the ultimate in radio performance. The first important radio improvement was the advent of the Hazletine Neurodyne in March, 1923. A year later the neutrodyne had to divide honors with the newer tuned radio frequency receivers which were more sensitive and selective and which still comprise about eighty per cent. of all the commercial sets on the market the newer type of which comprises three or more stages, which are shielded in aluminum or copper compartments. The highest type of this set is probably the ones using individual stage shields in the radio frequency stages, with the new power tubes and the proper output devices on a cone type speaker, this type of receiver will reproduce music or voice with amazing naturalness.
