Richard, I am forwarding to you a couple of answers to your question
that I asked back several years ago.

    Allen D. Cardwell Co,  ran an advertisement announcing the Model 54, 
a very advanced receiver, around mid-1946. The ads ran in QST and 
perhaps a couple of other places.  The pictures look like drawings not 
photos.  I wonder if this receiver was ever actually produced, I suspect 
it was not. Does anyone know more about it and what happened to it? I am 
not sure the ads ran more than a couple of months.
    This is rather like the first version of the SP-600 which was 
announced but the production receivers were obviously completely 
redesigned except for general appearance. Again, the illustrations 
appear to have been drawings or heavily retouched photos.   This is 
another case where the whole story does not seem to be anyplace but I 
can guess that the first version turned out to be uneconomical.
