The radio has been part of home entertainment for over 75 years and tens of thousands of different models have been designed, made, enjoyed and discarded and improved models came on the scene. Generations have enjoyed their favorite programs or have sat enthralled as some historic event unfolded through through the radio’s loudspeaker. This book describes the development of the radio from the late Victorian era until the late 1960’s, illustrating many rare and unusual sets once so familiar to listeners in countless clear black and white photos. This nostalgic look into history will bring back memories for those old enough to remember, and will both captivate and educate others.
