Plus £2 7 1 P.Tax (Excluding Batteries): £11 0 0.

Model 740B Mains of Battery. The twin sister of the 739 but so ingeniously designed as to incorporate a separate switch, which by a turn operates the Set on Batteries 2- 4½v. and 2 B.104 45v. (stored in the case) or utilises AC or DC Mains. 19-49 metres, 190-555 metres, 800-2,000 metres. 4 valves and rectifier. Plus £2 18 0 P.Tax (excluding Batteries): £13 15 0.
