Wireless Receptor, the size of a Safety Match Box. A Youthful
Genius in the person of Kenneth R. Hinman, who is only
twelve years old, has made a Wireless Receiving Set that fits
neatly into a Safety Match Box. With this Instrument and
a Pair of Ordinary Receivers, he is able to catch not only
Code Messages but the regular Broadcasting Programs from
Stations Twenty and Thirty Miles Distant

Wireless Set made into a Ring, designed by Alfred G. Rinehart, of
Elizabeth, New Jersey. This little Receptor is a Practical Set;
it will receive Messages, Concerts, etc., measures 1" by 5/8" by
7/8". An ordinary Umbrella is used as an Aerial
