"...home radio receiver production at the Westinghouse East Springfield, Massachusetts plant about 1926. This was about the time of the all-AC operated receivers and the introduction of the first indirectly heated cathode tubes in the Radiola 17. At that time, all radio manufacturers made many of the components they needed; the rise of specialty component producers came later."
