Now You Can Take The TV Set Too - Now your can take a television set with you one a picnic or down to the beach to watch you favourite programme. Strolling about with one of the new Ekco portable TV sets at the Radio Show, Earls Court, London, today (Friday) is Miss Maragaret Smith, of Harrow. The set, which can operate from a mains supply as well as a battery, has its own collapsible aerial. It will bring television to caravan dwellers and others who have no electricity supply.
