Manufacturers of Wireless Apparatus Moulded.

Within the memory of young men, a wonderful discovery has become an exact science. Today the wireless telegraph and telephone occupy a definite place in our civilization.

Early in this development, Bakelite was recognized as a material particularly well suited to the special deeds. It's high dielectric and mechanical strength, it's density, low specific gravity and chemical inertness, and its resistance to heat and moisture, were in themselves valuable qualities. Their combination and one available material was a boon to the industry.

That Bakelite has ably qualified is demonstrated by the almost universal use of this material in all such apparatus.

Bakelite is a synthetic raw material. In molded form, as laminated sheets and tubes, as a clear amber like substance, or as a varnish, camel or lacquer, it might be of use to you.

Has product images, description and applications to provide product details.
