"This study is devoted to the problem of radio reception in the non-industrial countries, technical problems associated with the socio-economic situation of each country, of which the solution must take into count the tasks of cultural development and particularly of popular education, which radio has to fulfil in the modern world — After examining the questions of radio reception in general, the author studies the technical conditions of reception, whether individual or collective, aerials, the special conditions of making a cheap material which is relatively easy to use, the maintenance of the installations, the new industrial methods and the economic and commercial aspects of cheap radio reception."
