The Servicing of Radio and Television Receivers

The service organization for the maintenance and repair of radio and television receivers has developed with the growth of the industry. The paper opens with a reference to the fundamental concepts of ¿working life¿ and service, and after a brief historical review examines the basic responsibility of a service organization and the methods by which this may be fulfilled. Personnel and equipment problems are next considered and analysed, and a typical service department is described. Consideration of the interrelationships between service and design is followed by a discussion of the service aspects of television and export as prominent post-war problems. The paper concludes with some notes on future development.
