Category: Motion, Light or Sound Wall Unit
Comments: The display demonstrates how radio signals travel from a transmitter switch to receiver switch (and the light it operates). The materials and processes used included plexiglass, injection-molded parts, vacuum-forming, styrene fabrication and chrome printing. The electronics, using chip and board design, accomplishes the visual demonstration of sequential lights to demonstrate radio signals.

Comments: Using an actual tool on a pressure-treated "mini deck," the display demonstrates the use of the boardbender for decking and framing. The unit hangs on home center racking or stands on a counter. Silkscreened illustrations and a four-color flier offer more detailed features.
