FT/DP 22nd March, 1938 SUBJECT Dear Sirs, We are this morning in receipt of your letter of the 21st instant, referring to the footnote on your Order No. 58546, and must apologise for the fact that through an oversight, the details requested have not previously been posted to you. In hastening to rectify this omission, we are enclosing two trade catalogues, and a small supply of folders, the model K.728 series being a De Luxe receiver recently added to the range. The weight of both the K.628 and K.728 sets is 18 1/2 lbs., this weight including the control head, and the dimensions of these two sets are identical, namely 8.7/16" x 9.1/16" x 7". The K.728 series use 7 valves as against 6 in K.628 series, and consequently has a greater output. The current consumption of this set on 12 volts is 3.3 amps. Should there be any further information that you might require, do not hesitate to get in touch with us, when we shall be pleased to forward this. Yours faithfully, [Signature] Philco Car Radio Department. SOLE DISTRIBUTORS OF PHILCO CAR RADIO | ||
