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.
