The Avenger 11 - River of Ice
“Smitty was tinkering with Josh’s little radio. These tiny radios were rather marvelous things. Run on tiny but powerful batteries, they were encased in small metal containers curved to fit the waist and hardly larger than cigar cases. They would transmit as well as receive and had a range up to forty miles. Benson and each of his helpers always wore one strapped to his belt; and they had saved the little crew a lot of grief.

“Ye’ll be breakin’ me up in business, Josh,” said Mac solemnly, “if ye keep on lappin’ up the sundaes in my drugstore during yer spare time.”MoreLess
