J.nnouncing The

SCOTT TELEmATICDrop into your easy chair make yourself comfortable... Unfold your paper touch a key at your side ...and instantly your favorite station is tuned in perfectly; ifthe program is not to your liking, just touch another key, andquick as a flash you have a new program from another station.

The SCOTT TELEMATIC is an entirely new and dif-:» ferent instrument in which dials, knobs and switches have

been eliminated, either for tuning in programs, recreatingselections of recorded music, or for raising and lowering thevolume. All the bother of getting up and walking over to aradio receiver to tune out a program you don't care to listento is eliminated, and so is the· fuss and trouble of turningknobs and dials.

Now you can sit in your favorite easy chair, and changefrom one program to another in a second. By simply touch-ing a key on the small Compact Control Keyboard ... nolarger than the palm of your hand, and weighing only a fewounces ... that rests on the arm of your chair, at your sideat the dinner table, or your bedside, the old program silentlysteals away, and the new one smoothly and magically appears... perfectly tuned in~

With This Modern Aladdin Turn Volume Up or Down.Without Moving from Your Chair

The touch of a key gives you any volume desired from a merewhisper to full auditorium volume! Who has not settled

down comfortably after tuning in a sta-tion on the ordinary type of radio tofind that following selections do not comein with the volume desired? This is thetime you fully appreciate the convenienceof the SCOTT TELEMATIC, the mod-ern Aladdin, for by simply touching akey at your side, you may instantly,,without moving from your chair, changethe volume to the exact degree you wish.

Automatically Tunes. in Each Pro-gram at Exact Time It Comes

on the AirHowever, it is not even necessary totouch a key to bring in your favoriteprograms. If you wish, you may selectyour radio entertainment for the entireday or evening in ADV ANCEl Merelyconsult the radio programs in your.morn-ing newspaper-insert a few simple stopsin the Automatic Program Selector-then, without further attention, eacllprogram you have selected will be auto-matically. tuned in at the exact time theprograms go on the air.

If you prefer an "intermission" ofsilence between one program and an-

other, the SCOTT TELEMAT Ieequipped with Automatic Program Se-lector, will automatically turn off thecurrent and station at the end of theprogram. Then, at precisely the righttime later on, it will switch on the cur-rent and automatically tune in your nextprogram the moment it comes on theair.

You Can Cheek Programs from Eac:hStation in a Few Seconds With-

out Moving from Your ChairHowever, when a program is tuned inthat is not to your liking, there is nonecessity to listen to it, for in a fewseconds you can check the programs fromall of the stations you regularly listento, and select the one you prefer with-out even moving from your easy chair.

Even the volume is automatically con-trolled once you set it to the degree ofloudness you pr~fer, and every stationor record will then be heard at the samevolume level.

Gives Either Radio or RecordedMusic: at Touch of Key

And when the programs coming in over

the air lose their interest, simply touchanother key, and again without leavingyour easy chair, into the room comesyour selection of recorded music-themagnificent strains of Beethoven'smighty "Fifth Symphony," a Gilbertand Sullivan Opera by the incomparableD'Oyle Carte artists, Toscanini conduct-ing the New York Philharmonic andplaying the Prelude to Act III of"Lohengrin," the suave music of GuyLombardo, or any other music that suitsyour fancy.

Controls Can Be Easily Installed inEvery Room in Home

Your entertainment from the SCOTTTELEMATIC is not confined to onlyone room in the home, for duplicate Key-boards and sound projection units canbe placed in as many rooms of the homeas you desire. You may have ChamberMusic while dining, a Symphony forafter-dinner coffee in the living room orlibrary, or a smart orchestra for dancingin the recreation room. Into each of theadditional rooms you can bring programsfrom over the air, or recorded music, justas perfectly and easily as you do in the

Marvelous for Those Confinedto Sickroom

For those confined to bed by illness, theSCOTT TELEMATIC has a particularappeal. With the attractive Control Key-board within easy reach of the patient,a touch of a key brings into the sick-room the same music and entertainmentenjoyed by the more fortunate membersof the family.

We can also, if desired, supply a micro-phone connected to the SCOTT TELE-MATIC, and a touch of a key will thenenable the invalid to communicate herwishes to those in other rooms.

When you retire for the night, theSCOTT TELEMATIC will lull you tosleep with music, and automatically turnoff, say, half an hour after you are inbed. Should you desire it, it will wakeyou with your favorite record or morningbroadcast at exactly the time you wish.

Designed for Those Who EnjoyFine Music

This modern miracle of scientific re-

search has been designed for those thou-sands who enjoy the fine music and en-tertainment broadcast from their nearbystations, the marvelous recorded selec-'tions now available with the new HighFidelity records, and have dreamed thatsome day just such an instrument as theSCOTT TELEMATIC would be theirs.

Today we have a choice of radio pro-grams undreamed of a few years ago, and

The Scott THEMATIC is particularly valu-able in tile sickroom, providing music and

entertainment.

\vith the improved chain facilities bring-ing all of the worth-while p~ograms toOllr local or nearoy stations, it is unneces-sary to tune in distant stations br ourfavorite programs.

Changed Conditions in RadioBroadcasting

As a result of this changed condition inbroadcasting, owners of radio receiversare now divided into two general classes:First, the DX enthusiast or "dialtwister" who, while enjoying the localbroadcasts, secures his greatest thrill inlistening to distant stations in all partsof the world, and finds part of his pleas-ure in adjusting the dial and controlknobs of his receiver to secure maximumreception from distant stations. For suchenthusiasts, the powerful, globe-circlingPHILHARMONIC and SCOTT SIX-TEEN represent the ultimate.

But for many thousands the thrill oflistening to distant stations has nowpassed-this great group tune in theirfavorite programs from nearby stations,and listen only to the important foreign

broadcasts from overseas rebroadcastthru their local stations.

Seott Telematie DesiC]ned for NewType of Listener

For this second group an entirely newtype of instrument has been created bythe Scott Research Laboratories. Themost important consideration is thefinest possible tone-pure, natural andundistorted at any degree of volume.The Fidelity Curves shown on pages 14and 15 will prove that the SCOTTTELEMATIC carries on the tradition ofthe Scott Laboratories, to build only in-struments with tone so perfect theyarouse the enthusiasm of such supremeartists as Arturo Toscanini, Lauritz Mel-chior, Eugene Goossens, and many otherwhose names you would recognize im-mediately.

What Today's Radio Listener WantsiIany th:lUsands of today's radio listen-

ers are not interested in twisting dials oradjusting knobs ... they care nothingabout wave lengths or kilocycles ... or"fishing" for distant stations ... but areinterested only in bringing in their fa-vorite programs from the nearby stationswith the least possible trouble and incon-venience. While reading the eveningnewspaper, entertaining guests, or com-fortably relaxing, they do not wish to beconstantly jumping up to change pro-grams, or to raise and lower the volume.They also do not wish to continually

watch the clock to avoid mlssmg somespecial program that comes on the all'at a certain time.

Another LonC]AwaitedConvenience

Today, the ether is packed with hun-dreds of interesting and beautiful pro-grams. However, there are still a fewsponsors who have not yet discoveredthat long "commercials" are very boringto listeners. Thru common courtesyeveryone is glad to give respectful at-tention to a short and dignified sellingmessage over the air after listening to aworth-while program, but most of us ob-ject strenuously to long drawn out,high pressure announcements. With theSCOTT TELEMATIC, without moving

from your chair, you can instantly elimi-nate this type of announcement, or re-duce it to a very low level, while waitingfor the next program.

As the change is made from one stationto another, either when programs arechanged automatically by the clockmechanism in the SCOTT TELE-MATIC, or by manually pressing thekeys on the Control Keyboard, thechange is effected instantly and quietly.There is no noise between stations.

Seott Telematic Mueh More ThanRadio Receiver

While it is true that a great variety offine radio programs are available today,there are often times when there is nota single program on the air which satis-fies our mood or the occasion.

The Instrument of Tomorrow must,therefore, be capable of reproducing re-corded music so perfectly that whenchanging from radio to records, a listen-ing test will not reveal any difference.

The new SCOTT TELEMATIC meetsthese requirements perfectly by provid-ing: (1) Tonal fidelity from records thatis equal to or better than the finest studiobroadcasts. (2) Freedom from surfacenoise or "needle scratch." (3) Perfectrecord reproduction at very low volumewhenever desired, and (4) a silent auto-matic unit which eliminates the changingof records by hand, and provides nearly

an hour's continuous entertainment with-out attention on your part.

Designed Primarily for MusicLovers

The tone quality of recorded music fromthe SCOTT TELEMATIC and itshighly developed sound projection sys-tem is remarkable for its crystal clear-ness, and record enthusiasts, once theyhear their favorite selections, immedi-ately agree that it is one of the mostthrilling musical experiences they haveever had outside the concert hall.

To hear records thru this new instru-ment is an inspiring experience. Whatmay seem almost incredible is that agood record, when heard thru the newSCOTT TELEMATIC, often soundseven more realistic than a fine studiobroadcast.

You now enjoy, as never before, theworld's great Operas, Symphonies,Chamber Music, and such supreme art-ists as Paderewski, Rachmaninoff, Kreis-ler, Heifitz; Melchior, Pons, Tibbett andothers. The magnificent music of theseartists can now be heard in your homethru the SCOTT TELEMATIC, as youwould hear them in the concert hall.

Records Instantly RejectedWhen Desired

When listening to records, you some-times find you do not wish to hear acertain selection after youha ve listenedto a portion of it. With the SCOTT

TELEMATIC, without leaving yourchair, by simply pressing a key, instantlythat record is rejected and the next onein the magazine is automatically played.

Automatic Record NeedleScratch Suppression '

automatically switches in a special Scottdevelopment (Scott Patents Applied For)that removes the record surface noise or"needle scratch" without impairing fi-delity at normal volumes. This mostamazing development is one of the chiefreasons why listeners can never be surewhether they are listening to a radio orrecords.

Record Unit Acoustically Sealed toEliminate Mechanical Noises

or Needle Rattle

Another example of the many refine-ments incorporated in this new instru-ment for hypercritical music lovers, isthe fact that the SCOTT AutomaticRecord Changing mechanism is acous-tically sealed in its compartment. Theusual mechanical reproduction and an-noying rattle heard directly from theneedle or pickup head is eliminated-forALL of the music comes from the soundprojection unit. As a result, you canplay records at extremely low volume,yet hear every note, both low and high,clearly and firmly.

Magnificent tonal perfection withoutdistortion may now, at last, be enjoyedat almost inaudible volume-or it maybe raised to the point where it shakes therafters, with no more distortion than ifyou were seated in the first few rows ofthe concert hall.

The 'Braemar A distinctive and beautiful console with Australian Laure' Wood frontpanels and sides. As shown above, it is equipped with the Scott TELEMATICand Automatic Program Se'ector Clock. It can also be supplied withoutthe Program Clock if desired. The Braemar measures 25112" wide, 74318"

deep and 34112" high overall.

PROGRAMS TUNED IN AUTOMATICALLY FORENTIRE DAY-AT EXACT TIME THEY GO ON AIRNo longer is it necessary to watch theclock to avoid missing one of your fa-vorite programs, for should you wish it,the SCOTT TELEMATIC equippedwith the Automatic Program Selector,will automaticaIly tune in anyone of 8different stations every 15 minutes ofthe 24 hours of the day. (You have yourchoice of 12 stations from the ControlKeyboard.)

When you open the doors of the beau-tiful Westwood console, you will noticeat each side of the clock a series of smallnumbered stops in the rack opposite eachcall1etter. The call1etters, of course, arethose of stations in your locality thatyou are particularly interested in receiv-ing. The doors encircling the electricclock completely conceal these stops.

Now take your daily paper listing theradio programs, and select the programsyou wish to hear during the day and eve-

ning. As an example, suppose you residein Chicago, and wish to listen to WGNat 2 :00 P.M., you take stop No.2 fromthe rack and insert in hole on theouter rim of the clock at 2: 00 P.M. Youwant to listen to WLS at 12:30, so insert

stop No.5 in hole at 12:30. \VMAQmay be the next station you desire tohear at 1 :30, so insert stop No.4 in holeon outer rim at 1 :30 P.M., and so on.That is all" there is to it. The SCOTTTELEMATIC will then-without anyfurther attention on your part-tune inevery station you have selected-at theexact time the program comes on the air.

If, after a station is tuned in you findyou do not care to listen to it, you can,in approximately 12 seconds, che::k eachof the programs coming in over the otherstations and select another one. How-ever, this does not affect the tuning in ofthe other pre-selected programs you haveset up, for when the time arrives for thenext program, the one you have tempo-rarily tuned in will be cut off and theprogram you have previously selectedwill come in automaticaIly.

The SCOTT TELEMATIC with Scott Automatic Record Changer Is IdealInstrument for the Recreation Room.

THE WORLD-S GREATEST MUSIC BROUGHTTO YOU BY THE SCOTT TELEMATIC

When you tire of programs from the air,you simply touch a key on the ControlKeyboard, instantly the radio is shut off,the SCOTT Automatic Record Changer isswitched on, and you can relax and listento nearly an hour of continuous music ofyour own selection.

The science of recording has made tre-mendous strides during the past few years,and the beauty of recently recorded musicwill simply amaze those who have not keptpace with some of the very late develop-ments in this field.

Recorded Music Equal to HighFidelity Broadcast

When the newer records were made avail-able to the public recently, it was suddenlyrealized that recorded music is today inevery way equal to, if not better than, aHigh Fidelity broadcast-when reproducedthru an instrument capable of covering theincreased musical range that these newrecords now give. The new SCOTT TELE-MATIC is one of the very few instrumentsin the world today whose fidelity is greatenough to reproduce the extremely widerange now being cut into the new HighFidelity records. You will agree, after listen-

ing to these new records thru the ordinarytype of radio phonograph combination, thenhearing the same records reproduced thruthe new SCOTT TELEMATIC, that thereis as much difference in the reproduction asthere is between a black and white photo-graph of a landscape-and the stLme picturein natural colors.

A Rare PleasureThe rare pleasure of being able to chooseonly the music you want-whenever youwant it-and the privilege of repeating itas often as you like, is possible only withrecorded music. It allows you to select thecorrect music to fit your needs, the socialoccasion, or mood. And if a selection dis-pleases you, without moving from yourchair, the mere touch of a key on the Con-trol Keyboard at your chair side, rejects theunwanted record, and replaces it with thenext recording.

Instead of being required to endure themany inconveniences, limitations, and dis-tractions, of the auditorium, the SCOTTTELEMATIC permits you to relax in therestful atmosphere of your own home, andenjoy a rare freedom of mind for apprecia-tive .concentration or lazy reflection uponthe beauty of the music itself.

The World's Famous InterpretativeArtists Now Available

The owner of a library of carefully selectedrecords has at his instant command a caval-cade of the world's finest performances-the eloquent interpretations of such out-standing organizations as the Pro ArteString Quartet, the Trinity Choir, the La-Scala and Metropolitan Opera companies,and scores of the most famous personalitiesin music today.

Now, you can enjoy these treasures to theutmost. Operas, vocal masterpieces by theworld's greatest living artists, symphonicmusic, chamber music, suites, instrumentalworks, recorded by the famous orchestras ofLondon, Paris, Berlin, New York, or Vienna.

Modern Records Now Include All ofthe World's Greatest Music

If you have not looked thru the recentrecord catalogues you will be amazed atthe vast repertoire of music available today .~in High Fidelity records, for you will findmost of the world's greatest music has nowbeen eloquently recorded.

Some idea of the completeness with whichthe entire musical field is being recorded bythe modern electrical recordings may be had

by glancing thru a recently published en-cyclopedia of recorded music. A total ofnearly 700 composers of serious worth arelisted, and the tabulation of their recordedworks covers 566 pages.

Only the world's greatest music has beenlisted in this book-no dance selections,popular songs, or any similar music is in-cluded. The bare listings of the recordedmusic of Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Handel,Chopin, Mozart, Schubert, Verdi, Wagner,Dvorak, Liszt, and Tschaikowski averagesnearly 30 columns for each composer! Thedance and popular music recordings arepublished monthly and usually number sev-eral hundred selections.

Many music lovers insist that they nowprefer listening to a superlative High Fidel-ity recording to hearing an ordinary rendi-tion of the same composition in the audi-torium or concert hall, and this preferenceis quite easy to understand. Good music,like good literature, demands somethingfrom the listener-primarily an appreciativemood and close attention. What betterplace is there for such concentration thanin the quiet seclusion of your own home?

REMOTE SPEAKER CONSOLES DESIGNEDFOR THE SCOTT TELEMATIC

Owing to the fact that the Scott TELE-MATIC tuning chassis and amplifier canbe installed in a closet or in some loca-tion outside the room where the actualreproduction is required, we. have de-sign~d a number of special consoleswhich house the speaker only. This typeof installation is particularly suitablewhere space is at a premium in the room.

The present type of radio is too bulkyand probably also too expensive for the

majority of people to install in eachroom. For this reason, where a radio re-ceiver is required in rooms other thanthe living room, small midgets are used,the tone of which generally leaves muchto be desired. However, each of thespeaker consoles illustrated will now pro-vide just as fine reception and reproduc-tion in every room in the home, as themain installation in the living room.

The Dover console is designed so that

the top portion accommodates the ScottAutomatic Record Changer, while thelower portion can be used as storagespace for record albums, or if otherarrangements can be made for the stor-age of the records, then this lower spacecan be used to accommodate the speaker.This provides a most convenient arrange-ment for those who desire the AutomaticRecord Changer for reproducing re-corded music as well as the TELE-MATIC for the reception of programsoff the air.

Scott Receivers are installed in many finehomes in which the furniture is of a cer-tain period, and special consoles must bedesigned for the installation. We havenow concluded arrangements with Amer-ica's outstanding maker of fine tradi-tional and contemporary furniture-Tapp Inc.-to design and provide cus-tom built housings for Scott High Fidel-ity Receivers and Phono Combinations,where special consideration must begiven to a harmonious blending with thefurnishings and decorative plan of thehome.

THE SCOTT TELEMATICTECHNICAL DETAILS OF A NEW MUSICAL INSTRUMENT SO ADVANCED INDESIGN THAT IT MARKS AN ENTIRELY NEW ERA IN HOME ENTERTAINMENT

The new SCOTT TELEMATIC is the resultof nearly a year's intensive development inthe Scott Research. Laboratories, and we be-lieve it definitely marks a new era in radioreceiver design. It is an entirely new and differ-ent instrument which eliminates dials, knobs,and switches either for tuning in the favoritestations you regularly listen to or reproduc-ing records. Instead of jumping up and downto go over to the radio to switch the set onor off, tune stations in and out, raise or lowerthe volume, or play your favorite recordings,with the SCOTT TELEMATIC in your homeyou sit in your favorite chair, touch a key onthe small Control Keyboard by your side, andinstantly you can: (1) bring in anyone of 12stations, (2) raise or lower the volume, or(3) play records.

The Basic CircuitThe SCOTT TELEMATIC is of such ad-vanced design that for the present no circuitdiagram can be published until severa1 impor-tant patent applications have been filed. It

incorporates 14 latest type tubes and is designedfor reception of broadcast-band stations be-between 540 kc and 1600 kc, thus including thenew super fidelity stations already in operation.

. .As in the case of any instrument which per-

forms perfectly in all its functions, the SCOTTTELEMATIC is based on sound and provedengineering desig:l. Many exacting require-ments have been accurately met in order toprovide the ultimate in reliable, interference-free, high fidelity radio reception and auto-matic reproduction of recorded music.

Amazing Overall FidelityOutstanding among these achievements inSCOTT TELEMATIC performance is the re-markable overall fidelity which enables thisinstrument to perfectly reproduce the completefrequency range transmitted from the finestbroadcast stations in the count"y.

This remarkable high fidelity response is at-tained by virtue of the many highly developedcircuit elements in this instrument, outstanding

among which are (1) the Bandpassed Inter-mediate Frequency Amplifier, (2) the DiodeDriver, (3) the Audio Amplifier, and (4) theSound Projection System.

Newly Developed Band PassedI. F. Amplifier

Radio engineers and others familiar with theintricate details of Band Pass IntermediateFrequency Amplifier design will be amazed attbe performance of the system employed inthe SCOTT TELEMATIC. Perfect high fidel-ity response is obtained by virtue of the 13kilocycle broad practically flat "nose," whilea remarkable degree of selectivity and adjacentchannel rejectivity results from the extremelysteep straigh t sides.

An ideal characteristic of this degree of per-fection can only be attained by the use ofmany high Q circuits, in cascade, operating ina perfectly stabilized, shielded and filtered cir-cuit. In the SCOTT TELEMATIC, instead ofthe usual five or six tuned circuits, twelve

high Q tuned circuits (in addition to the oscil-lator) are operated in cascade at all times.Thus the full performance of every element ofthis new instrument is contributing at alltimes to the delightfully perfect receptionwhich entrances all who hear it.

The 1. F. amplifier system alone containsthree specially designed 1. F. transformers eachcontaining three high efficiency Litz wound in-ductors tuned with permanently stabilizedsilver electrode condensers, and accurately ad-justable high frequency powdered iron cores.Coupling between successive inductors is ac-complished by the use of separate coupling coilsin order to avoid the usual excessive capacitycoupling which results in dis-symmetry of the1. F. transmission curve shape. Incidentally,the silver electrode condensers used in theseI. F. transformers have such remarkably stablelow-loss characteristics that they are becomingwidely used as laboratory precision standa1'ds.By using high capacity tuning condensers inthe 1. F. system the effects of variation in tubecapacity, location of grid leads, etc., are ren-dered negligible, so that many years of flawlessoperation may be expected from this system.

Distortionless Diode DriverTransformer

Following the two radio frequency and nineintermediate frequency tuned circuits is a spe-cial powdered iron core tuned diode drivertransformer having three disk-type windingsseparated less than fifteen thousandths of anind~ in order to prevent losses and handleloud, highly modulated signals without dis-tortion.

Special High Fidelity Audio Ampli-fier Covers Entire Range of

Human EarTo all who love fine music in the home, andespecially to the greatly increasing number ofmusic lovers who have discovered the beautyof the new high fidelity recordings, the distor-tion-free fidelity of the audio system is of thegreatest importance.

The actual laboratory measured frequencyresponse characteristic curve of the entire audiosystem of the new SCOTT TELEMATIC isshown on this page. Note that the maximumran>reof frequency response, indicated by thesolid line, extends from 30 to 16,000 cycles,exceeding the audible range of most humanears.

Certain portions of this range may beboosted, as indicated by the rising portions, byadjustment of the bass and high fidelity con-trols on the chassis. The dotted line indicatesthe frequency response obtained with the bassand high fidelity controls set at their minimumpositions. Any desired response between thesetwo extremes may be readily obtained byrotating one or both of these continuouslyvariable controls.

Distortionless Power OutputWhile these frequency response characteristics

are surpassed by no other instrument on themarket today, they would be useless if it werenot for the complete absence of audible dis-tortion and the ample reserve power outputprovided by the SCOTT TELEMATIC. Anexamination of the power output curve willshow that nearly maximum power is obtained

with less than 2% total harmonic distortion.This extremely pure audio output is obtained

through two of the new Beam-Power amplifiertubes which are used-not as high gain ampli-fiers in order to obtain cheap construction-bu t rather as high percentage inverse feed-backamplifiers in order to obtain purity of output.

New SOUl1dProjection SystemWhen attending a motion picture at a theatrehaving good acoustical qualities you have per-haps often noticed that words and music aremuch clearer, easier to understand, and morerealistic than when heard over the averageradio receiver. This is primarily because finemotion picture ;;ound systems, which cost manythousands of dollars, have fidelity character-istics which are far superior to the averageradio.

The new SCOTT TELEMATIC is equippedwith a highly developed Sound Projection Sys-tem which has been especially designed for thehigh fidelity characteristics of this remarkableinstrument, and incorporates several principlesused in the design of the costliest motion pic-ture sound systems.

It consists of two separate projection cones,and as a result the distribution of the hightones (upon which intelligibility depends) isconsiderably better than when reproducedthrough the ordinary type of loud speakerfound in radio receivers.

The main projection cone is curvilinear, thatis, curved throughout its length, like a trumpet.It is made of long-fibre acoustical material andholds its exponential shape perfectly even onthe strongest concert passages.

The auxiliary diffusing cone is coaxial withthe main curvilinear cone. This smaller highfrequency cone acts a. a sound diffuser, notonly improving the high fidelity characteristicsto a great degree, but also making these highertones and overtones pleasing and natural ine-spective of where the listeners may be seatedin the room. It should be noted that this sys-tem in no way resembles the dual cone radioloud speaker which contains a tiny center coneas an integral part of the outer cone.

Voice and music, when heard through theScott TELEMATIC Sound Projection System,

are as clear, undistorted, and realistic as if youwere personally present in the broadcasting orrecording studio. To hear it is a revelationfor those who demand a standard of tonalfidelity which is greatly superior to that whicis available from the usual type of radio rtceiver or phonograph combination.

In order to make all of these engineering at-tainments permanently worthwhile it is ofparamount importance that the electrical char-acteristics of the entire instrument be thor-oughly and permanently stabilized in order toassure the owner that the high performancestandards attained in the Scott TELEMATICwill remain unimpaired.

Newly Developed StabilizedOscillator

One important example of the degree of per-fection which has been attained in the SCOTTTELEMATIC is the permanent stabilizationof the oscillator circuit, a new developmentof our Research Laboratories, which makescertain that every station will always be tunedin "right on the head" as soon as you pressthe key in the Control Keyboard. This newtype of oscillator system makes sure there wiHbe no "drifting" or "creeping" of stations oncethey are tuned in. The usual oscillator systemtunes only the grid or plate circuit, and voltagefor injection of the oscillator potential intothe converter system is taken from the gridend of the oscillator inductance. This systemwas not perfect enough for the SCOTT TELE-MATIC, not only because it often results inharmonics due to random oscillations in an un-tuned coil, but also because the slightest changein the characteristic of the converter tube orsupply voltage results in frequency drift.

In the SCOTT TELEMATIC the oscillatorpotentials are completely by-passed and filteredat the oscillator tube to prevent indiscriminatesur!!:ing. Tube noise is kept at an absoluteminimum in the converter tube by applyingan unusually high oscillator voltage to its in-jector grid, thus producing maximum conver-sion efficiency.

Another new feature is the incorporation ofa negative temperature coefficient circuit thatoffsets the small remaining drift which nor-mally occurrs with changes in temperature dueto the fact that practically all insulating ma-terials have positive temperature capacity co-efficients. Our laboratory tests show that bythe use of this new principle, the oscillatorfrequency is held constant within a fraction ofa kilocycle at any frequency at which it maybe tuned - regardless of the temperature ofthe receiver or 0 f the room in which it isheing operated. .

May Be Matched to AcousticalResponse of Room

On the main chassis of the SCOTT TELE-MATIC are two continuously variable controls

which enable you to accurately match the tonalresponse to the acoustical properties of anyroom in which it is installed. Once set, thesetwo controls need no further adjustment unlessthe instrument is moved into another roomwving greatly different acoustical properties.

One of these controls is for adjusting the bassresponse or lower tones until they are mostpleasing to your ears. It is a well known factthat many people like a preponderance of basstones whereas others prefer them considerablyreduced. The very highly developed bassaccentuation system of the SCOTT TELE-MATIC incorporates a specially designed highQ bass resonator circuit and provides a bassboost or accentuation of approximately 3 times(lOdb) in the maximum position of the control.

An amazing feature of this bass control sys-tem is that it does not appreciably increasethe lower voice frequencies even when turnedto maximum! This simply means that if youenj oy a rich full bass on music, merely set thiscontrol at maximum, but when a speaker orsinger is heard (and the broadcast station isnot faulty), the voice will not have that deep,boomy, and unnatural quality obtained fromordinary bass boosting systems. The humanvoice always remains clear, and natural. ~

The control which regulates the fidelity re-sponse also provides a wide frequency rangeand in its maximum position provides full highfidelity on both records and radio. Once theTELEMATIC is installed in the room, a shortlistening test with the bass and high fidelitycontrols set at various degrees, will enable youto arrive at the correct combination to exactlysuit your ear.

Stations Easily Changed at AnyTime

he SCOTT TELEMATIC has been designedas a musical instrument for those interestedprimarily in programs from nearby stations onthe broadcast band. The Control Keyboardhas 12 keys under which the call letters ofthe 12 stations to which you regularly listencan be inserted.

If you desire to tune in stations on thebroadcast band other than those on the Con-trol Keyboard, this can be done by going overto the TELEMA TIC chassis itself and tuningwith the calibrated dial at the rear of thechassis which is provided primarily to enableyou to tune in the stations you wish to setup on the Control Keyboard.

Should you at any time desire to set upother stations in place of those you O1'iginallychoose, it can be done quickly and easily ina few m'oments. With your TELEMATICyou are furnished printed call letter strips, ofall the U. S. stations on the air, of just theright size to slip under the keys.

There are two keys on the Control Keyboardwhich enable you to raise or lower the volumeand also to switch the set on or off. As youpress the key marked "Volume On," the elec-tric current is switched on, and a green pilotlight in the center of the Control Keyboardlights up. The longer you keep your fingeron this key the louder the volume becomes.Should you wish to reduce the volume, you

~ simply press the key marked "Volume Off."As you hold down this key, the volume isslowly and gradually reduced until it is amere whisper. Then, if you continue holdingdown the key for a few seconds after the musichas disappeared, the current is turned off com-pletely as will be indicated by the green pilotlight going out.

Remote Control to Play RecordsIf your SCOTT TELEMATIC is equippedwith a Scott Automatic Record Changer, themagazine may be loaded either with eight 12-inch or lO-inch records before beginning yourevening's entertainment. Then, at any time youmay enj oy all or any part of this selection ofrecorded music by merely pressing the "Phono"key. The moment you press it, the radio pro-gram instantly disappears, and in a few sec-onds you hear the beginning of your firstrecord.

The Scoff High Fidelify ,Speaker wifhCurvilinear Cone and Special High Fre-

quency Diffuser.

The instrument plays each record, one afteranother, in the sequence you have arrangedproviding over' 40 minutes of continuous enter-tainment. Then, at the end of this period,when the records have been completely playedthrough on one side, merely turn over thestack of discs (a lO-second task), and theywill be automatically played through on thereverse side.

The more extended recordings, such as cham-ber music, operas, and symphonies may nowbe purchased for automatic operation in the"AM" type albums which have the first parton the top of No. 1 record, the second parton the top of No. 2 record, the third part onthe top of No. 3 record, ete. If the albumcontains say six records, the sixth part will beon the top of No. 6 record, then the completestack of records is simply turned over, andthe seventh part will come on the bottom ofNo. 1 record, the eighth part on the bottomof No.2 record, the ninth part on the bottomof No. 3 record, ete. In this way the completework is played through continuously, except-ing for the short lO-second pause necessary toreverse the stack of records.

When the last record in the magazine hasbeen played, the record changer will auto-matically stop. This simply means that youcan turn on the record playing unit, then giveit no further thought, for it will turn off ofits own accord when the last record has beenp'ayed through. However, the record playingmechanism can be turned off at any time, orany given record may be instantly rejected, bymerely pressing the "Phono" key.

Surface Noise or Needle ScratchEliminated

The presence of needle scratch when listeningto records has always been the great objec-tion raised by musicians and many laymenwho are interested in good music. Variousmethods have been tried in order to reduce it.

One very common method is to use a typeof picblp which does not reproduce frequen-cies higher than about 3,500 cycles. However,this seriously impairs the beauty of the music,for modern high fidelity records have a fre-quency range as high as 10,000 cycles. The"scratch range" extends from about 1,500 to10,000 cycles, and if a pickup is used whichreproduces only those frequencies under 3,500cvc1es, the scratch is considerably reduced, butthe higher frequencies above 3,500 cycles, whichgive timbre and individuality to the music, arecompletely lost.

Another variation of this system is to in-stall a control whereby the user is able tocut down the high frequency response, thusreducing both scratch and important musicalfrequencies.

Both systems are widely used, and while theyeffectively reduce the scratch, the resulting re-production is very little better than the oldacoustic gramophone. All the life is taken outof the music, making it sound muffled, boomy,and unnatural.

If a good quality high fidelity pickup is used,the higher frequencies or overtones are repro-duced, but so is the scratch. Many musicians,while objecting very much to this scratch, re-fuse to allow it to be eliminated at the expenseof the higher frequencies which are necessaryfor vivid, lifelike reproduction. They are will-ing to tolerate the scratch in order that theymay hear the beautiful overtone range whichis recorded on the new higher fidelity records.A development of our Research Laboratories(Scott Patents Applied For) has at last madepossible the full enjoyment of recorded music,

for it automdtically eliminates needle scratch:/without affecting the full natural reproductionof the higher frequencies at normal volumes!As the result of this very outstanding develop-ment, recorded music can now be heard withall of the sparkle and life of the 'original. Itmakes possible a degree of pleasure that simplycannot be realized until you have heard anactual demonstration!

Why Power Amplifier Is SeparateUnit

The average mass-production radio ;eceiver orphonograph combination combines the tunerand the Power Amplifier on the same chassis,For those who are not critical, or where tonequality is a secondary consideration, this factoris of little importance. However, in designingthe SCOTT TELEMATIC the chief aim wasto perfect an instrument which would giveyou the finest tone quality on both radio andrecords,

During the many y~ars we have been de-signing and building only the finest instrumentsfor electrical sound reproduction we havefound that in order to secure maximum effi-ciency and performance, the Power Amplifier
