Midget Radio for Policemen Is Carried in Pocket
Latest equipment for the English bobby is a miniature radio receiving set with which he picks up instructions from police headquarters while on duty. The set is so small that the policeman carries the complete outfit in his pocket.
I love the midget part. And when did we stop calling it a “radio set” and started just using “radio?” That is happening now with TV. You hear “TV set” less and less nowadays.

Looks more like Sherlock Holmes is checking Bobby’s heart rate. Or would Doctor Watson do that?
