[ARC5] ARC's first range receiver of 1929

[gordon white]

      Aircraft Radio Corp. began "life" as a subsidary of Radio 
Frequency Laboratories in Boonton, N.J. in 1927.  RFL was a strictly 
research and design operation, without any ability to actually 
manufacture radio equipment.  Stromberg-Carlson had been manufacturing 
entertainment radios for some time and thus had a manufacturing 
capability, so was chosen to actually build equipment RFL/ARC designed.

     The Model D Receiver was designed to meet the  requirement for an 
aircraft receiver to receive the 285-315 kc and 315-350 kc radio beacon 
and communications signals allocated by the 1927 international convention.

Drake, Feb. 1929)

A.R.C. later broke off from  RFL and, shortly before the U.S. got into 
WW II, created its own manufacturing plant in Boonton. The press of  
need for large numbers of wartime procurement led both 
Stromberg-Carlson  and Western Electric Co. to become subcontractors to 
A.R.C.
