January 17th. 1933. 4th. day Broadcasting.

Tuesday, January 17th
Announcement at beginning of first broadcast at 7.45 a.m.

We are now going to broadcast a description of the third Test Match between England
and Australia at Adelaide, through the courtesy of the manufacturers of Gillette razors and
blades.

The Gillette manufacturers employ some of the finest engineers and metallurgists in
their laboratories, continually conducting research work to improve the quality of their
products. It was in their laboratories that the principle of the slotted blade was evolved;
by this method it is possible to use a higher tempered steel and one which will take a keener
edge than ever before. Yet this can be done without the risk of the blade cracking in the
holder as would have happened with the old three hole blades.

If you have not tried the new slotted Gillette blade, buy a packet today and prove to
yourself that it gives a keener shave and lasts longer than any blade you have previously
tried. Make sure you ask for the slotted Gillette blades, which fit all tyes of Gillette
razors.

Woodfull was using his bowlers cleverly; making frequent changes, and eventually
secured another success when just before lunch Allen, who had taken Wyatt's place, was
out Ibw. to Grimmett. The score at lunch, after 220 minutes batting, was 130 for 3.

At lunch the news with regard to Oldfield was that he is improving but is not yet
well enough to play. It was also learnt that Paynter's ankle was worse and that it was
unlikely that he would be able to bat. On the resumption the slow struggle was carried
on, only 11 runs being added in 20 minutes, of which Hammond claimed 9. Shortly after
150 runs appeared on the board and when Jardine has passed his individual 50 he was out
Ibw to Ironmonger. He had been batting no less than 254 minutes for his 56 runs and
al though it was a painfully slow innings, it was in the circumstances undoubtedly very
valuable.

Leyland now joined Hannond and began brilliantly by striking a couple of fours off
