[ARC5] Radios in the Movies

[John Saxon]

On the PBS murder mystery "Murdock Mysteries"  Murdock reported to the authorities that the victim had been electrocuted by a huge 'capacitor.'  The setting of this series is in 19th century England.  According to my research, they were not called 'capacitors' until mid-50s.  Previously, they were known as 'condensers.'

      Movies are full of this stuff because the producers think no one will notice. 

And 99.9% don't.  If it's not somehow important to the plot or a star of the film, it's merely representative. 

Only us radio nerds notice.
