This is an obsolete term dating from the thirties- when various tuning gimmicks were attracting attention. My guess is it was some variant of the Elliptical dial- driven by a cord and pulley arrangement- and outfitted with motor drive and flashing lights akin to Movie Marquees. In the movie house usage- this type of thing was often, incorrectly, termed running lights- actually the lights did not move, but rhytmically flashed on and off- giving an illusion of a sort of conveyor belt effect. That"s my guess.

What is the radios of .28mm?

The term "radios" seems to be a typographical error or misinterpretation. If you meant "radius," then a radius of 0.28 mm refers to the distance from the center of a circle or sphere to its edge, measuring 0.28 millimeters. This is a small measurement often used in contexts like micromachining, medical devices, or precision engineering. If you meant something else by "radios," please clarify for a more accurate response.
