New Radio Day!
#12

It's a beauty, living like the fancy folks did. Enjoy it.  

Think of the engineering and design of the day, no cad cam, no 3D printers, no computers. Set up a test production line from the drawing board to the test production line, work out the kinks. Remarkable achievements considering the year it was produced. Some people look at it and see an old radio. You have to place it in the technological context of the times.  They can't see the folks that designed and built it, the distant stations that the listener heard from places they would never see or travel to and the news and programs that came through the big speaker. Radio at it's finest.
