RCA VICTOR STARTS NEW CHICAGO AUTO RADIO PLANT
The first plant in the country devoted exclusively to the manufacture of automobile radios started production last week as the RCA Victor Division of the Radio Corporation of America opened its first manufacturing center in the Chicago area.
The new plant will eventually be a completely self-sus¬ taining factory for the manufacture of radios for the automobile industry, Joseph B. Elliott, Vice-President, disclosed. This will include engineering, fabrication of parts, assembly, testing, and snipping.
About 700 persons, of which 70 percent will be female, are expected to be employed at the plant when full-scale production is under way. Over 150 are now employed, with more being added daily. The plant has approximately 160,000 square feet of space.
RCA Victor’s auto-radio manufacturing activities were transferred to the new onestory structure at 51st and Menard Streets from the Company’s Indianapolis plant because of the need of greater so ace facilities.
