The preceding wireless sets were even bigger and heavier, with exposed valves mounted on wooden panels.

Wireless Telegraphy Sets 'A' (1925) and 'C' (1928)...

(There were some bigger and more powerful sets "120 Watt" and "500 Watt", I think (rating was the input to the entire set) that were built into wagons.)

Wireless Telephony arrived in 1938 with the W.S.1
