The company supplied 40,000 of these radios to the Godfrey Phillips tobacco company, who gave them away to customers in exchange for cigarette coupons. The bakelite cabinet is equipped with a special hinged lid which ensures that the speaker does not overhang the back of the unit. It uses only 2 valves.
