In my spare time I built 3 and 4 valve Radio Sets and had many orders but my problem was in obtaining Cabinets for the Chassis. Having gained a lot of knowledge in the Radio field, Ron Hipwell and I had a lot in common with Radio and as a result in our spare time we built an experimental Radio Station from Radio junk. Ron applied for a Licence and was allotted a call sigh VK 3 KU, Ultima, Victoria.

The equipment was very roughly set out but it worked. We did not have money to buy good equipment. We used to borrow the microphone from the telephone at work.

In the early 1920's HE & MA Cuttle (later known as Cuttle's Mallee Stores) built a new Garage in Dillon Street. The first foreman of the workshop was Mr Roy Innes who brought his family from Inglewood. I understood Mr Innes had previous experience in the Electric Generating in Inglewood, consequently when setting out the Machinery Counter Shaft he installed a 110 volt DC Generator to supply electric light for the Garage and the General Store.
