Allen-Bradley Co. Supplies Electrical and Radio Field
By F. A. HILL
(Associate Editor)
RESISTANCES whether fixed or variable have long been, and will for many years be a vital and essential part of radio transmission and reception. Resistances had their first inning with the birth of the electrical industry; their second inning came with the appearance of broadcasting. Other fields will later be developed just as nearly everything today is adaptable to more than one use.
In the manufacture of resistances some of the larger organizations which had been making resistances for the electrical field saw a new outlet for their product and entered the new field with a product on which they already had years of experience. Thus they not only served their original industry, the electrical, but also took in new territory in the broadcast game.
Allen-Bradley Company, at Milwaukee, were admirably suited
Here is shown the Brad leystat assembly line with a capacity of 5000 per hour day. Five testing stations are provided to insure electrical perfection
to enter the radio business when it first blossomed. That company has been making resistance and other controller equipment for years and had built up an enviable reputation in the electrical

world. When the public demand for radio sets assumed such proportions the Allen-Bradley organization, having noted the trend, launched into the new business with a line of variable resistors, later adding fixed resistors, condensers and other small parts. Today it occupies one of the upper places in the realm of radio with a name that is as well known and favorably received by the public as any of the large manufacturers.
More Current Capacity
BATTERY elimination, it is believed spurred the AllenBradley Co., on to even greater effort in the making of fixed and variable resistances, for in the beginning much of the poor success of the eliminators was traceable to the fact that resistances then supplied did not stand up under service conditions. Hence there was a crying need for a good variable resistor that would carry enough current to supply
